Debian 7 install

Post by NocturnalJoe »

Am trying to install on Debian 7. Get up to cmake on manual install and make fails. Am using root terminal so no permission issue. Have all files downloaded and ready to go. Am really wanting to play. Would be willing to do teamviewer.

You should run "cmake .." not just "cmake"

Ie: you have to give cmake a target, and the parent folder (the one above build) is the target you're looking for.

That said, I'd suggest you use "ccmake .." (which is interactive and nicer).
