Re: [CMake] Trying to compile cmake with local copy of ncurses library
Hi, On Tue, Jun 26, 2012 at 12:14 AM, Sohail Shafii sohailsha...@yahoo.comwrote: I'm sorry but I don't quite understand the first sentence in your response. How would I run my locally-built cmake for the cmake sources? Do you mean try to use cmake to generate a makefile for the cmake sources? Yes, exactly, use the cmake that you just built to configure a build directory for the CMake sources. That way you can do more diagnostics than with the bootstrap script. Also, I don't know anything regarding cmake's trace features. I only use it to compile other software that need cmake, like ParaView, so my cmake knowledge is fairly limited. I do wonder if most people have ncurses in /usr/local/include and have not run into this problem. Running cmake --trace normal arguments put here prints each line that cmake evaluates as it runs through the scripts. If this doesn't answer the question as to why it uses the wrong path, then you'd need to add some debug-message() calls into the FindCurses.cmake script to detect where the variables are set and to what value. If you want to debug/find the reason for this at all.

If that one is missing the path you think should be there and since your cmake is not built yet, I'd suggest to trace down how the include-dirs for ncurses end up being given to the target.

Re: [CMake] Trying to compile cmake with local copy of ncurses library
Thanks. What it is apparently doing is including the argument: -I/home/***/local/include/ncurses. It should be -I/home/***/local/include. I'm not sure why it generates the former during the bootstrap/configuration phase. The problem variable is the following in the CMakeCache.txt file: //The curses include path CURSES_INCLUDE_PATH:FILEPATH=/home/***/local/include/ncurses I had to remove ncurses from that line. Not a permanent solution because the bootstrap will just generate that line each time. It compiles with this custom fix though.

If so you could try to use cmake's trace features to see where the value is coming from and check wether maybe the find_path invocation for detecting the directory is wrong.
