Re: [CMake] Installing cmake-2.8.4-Darwin-universal.dmg

[Michael Jackson]

There was a bug where we were discussing keeping or ditching the version number 
that gets appended to the CMake.app package. There are good reasons both to 
keep it and to remove it. You may want to add your thoughts to the bug.

Re: [CMake] Installing cmake-2.8.4-Darwin-universal.dmg

[Andrew Maclean]

Hi Sean,

Thanks for the link,

After reading the link below, I think I will write a little script to delete
the symlinks and see if the install works, if not then I will
write another script to create them.

Alternatively after reading your second paragraph it may be better to rename
the installation to /Applications/CMake.app and manually create the
symlinks. The for future installations all I would need to do is to do the
installation but DO NOT create the symlinks then rename the installation to
CMake.app. I generally don't keep side by side versions of CMake.

With respect to PATH, I have noticed that in some cases the PATH is ignored
in Macs but /usr/local/bin is not, hence the need for symlinks.

Thanks for the help.
   Andrew

This has failed for as long as I can remember.  It might be this:

What I do is add /Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin to my PATH.  If
you do this, you'll also need to remember to rename the installed CMake
every time (to remove the version number):

[CMake] Installing cmake-2.8.4-Darwin-universal.dmg

[Andrew Maclean]

I am attempting to install this on Snow Leopard. The installation seems to
work Ok but fails at the Install Command Line Tools stage, with the message:
Failed create symlink installation may be incomplete: /usr/bin/ccmake
... and so forth for all the command line tools.

Clearly this is a permissions issue. The installer actually does ask for my
password and the gui seems to be successfully installed in the Apps folder,
so I suspect sudo rights are not being propagated to the symlink creation
stage.

So how do I get the Command Lines stuff installed? (Aside from manually
creating them.)

Regards
   Andrew
