Could not compile on centos 7

[waghanza]

Hello,

CMake version required to compile is 2.8.12.

However version provided by last centos release, is 2.8.11.

Is there any big differences between those two versions ?

Perhaps have a look at the change log for cmake? Or report any errors that you see?

[waghanza]

In fact when I trying to build libui I have a version warning
this behavior is only on centos (cmake to old)
i have build packages for fedora

PS : I can generate more package if you want 😉

What happens if you just change the minimum version in the CMakeLists.txt? In the menatime the makefiles should still work; I forgot how much I snipped away but IIRC I only did that on the Windows coe.

[waghanza]

Just to be sure, compilation is made by cmake . && make ?

When I change CMakeLists.txt is have https://gist.github.com/anonymous/4c88d1aa92ca77fba1a05b46d323514b

PS : I am currently creating an app to build package for linux distros (windows and os x support will be added later), I can help testing (compilation)

I have enabled a third party repository to provide and less outdated version of cmake (to have the 3.4.3) => https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/roidelapluie/cmake/
But still can't compile

[andlabs]

Try with the current cmake files, which should work on 2.8.11 now as well.

I have

Has this been resolved for you? #226 says it has for them. (I want to move off cmake, anyway.)

[waghanza]

Hi @andlabs,

Sure, I've finally built binaries for :

• centos 7
• fedora 27

If you want I will be glad to create a PR to add all necessary stuff (spec file) in this repo.

Regards,

[andlabs]

What are "spec files"? What specific extra stuff did you need to do?

[waghanza]

Just a .spec file (all instruction to build an rpm package)

like https://github.com/lantw44/copr-rpm-spec/blob/master/factor/yafu/yafu.spec (just an example)

I'm creating a tool to automate package creation, thus I need those for my own :-)
