#160 Cannot build FLAC with cmake
Good morning,
I have just cloned the github flac repository onto my Ubuntu 18.04 vm system.
Following the instructions, I then when to
<devdir>/flac/build
I then tried to run
cmake ../src
First error, my cmake was too old, so I upgraded it to version 3.20.
I ran the same command from the same place and am getting multiple cmake errors.
1. CMake is requiring a project declaration within sub build scripts libFLAC and probably also libFLAC++.
2. CMake cannot find macros which have been included from within a parent CMakeLists file
3. CMake cannot find the scripts held within flac/cmake
I will see if I can fix these problems, but as I have never used flac beforehand, I cannot garantee that my fixes will be correct.
Are you aware of these problems ?
Best regards
Simon Giddings
You shouldn't do cmake ../src but cmake .. instead in your case.
