ccmake oddity

Post by gonzo »

When I invoke ccmake it won't take [c] until I do it twice. I can't see why this is.


After tweaking it I find these options:
Press [enter] to edit option CMake Version 2.8.12.2
Press [c] to configure
Press [h] for help Press [q] to quit without generating
Press [t] to toggle advanced mode (Currently Off)
So I press [c] to configure and see this:
CMake produced the following output
CMake Version 2.8.12.2
Press [e] to exit help
I press [e] because I'm done here.

Which brings me to the next menu...
Press [enter] to edit option CMake Version 2.8.12.2
Press [c] to configure
Press [h] for help Press [q] to quit without generating
Press [t] to toggle advanced mode (Currently Off)
OK? So where is the option to 'generate and exit'?
We try it one more time [c]
CMake produced the following output
CMake Version 2.8.12.2
Press [e] to exit help
And...?
Press [enter] to edit option CMake Version 2.8.12.2
Press [c] to configure Press [g] to generate and exit
Press [h] for help Press [q] to quit without generating
Press [t] to toggle advanced mode (Currently Off)
I attach two files from the build. It's always the same and the program runs and looks pretty much like it should but I haven't played with it properly.
It's more of a nuisance really but if your not that experienced with compiling from source I can see this could be a problem.

I tend to use the CCmake GUI for the config step so I do not see what you are seeing it might be a packaging issue with your distro but then I haven't had to recompile since I installed my current OS.

Enjoy the Choice :)

I installed ubuntu package 'cmake-qt-gui and am looking into it.
Is this the same package you are using?

Most likely as I run MInt 17.1 which is based on buntu's Trusty Tahr like the fact that I can access it directly for the menu.
