Hey Robert,
thank you for your reply. It actually did help a bit.
I still found several issues when compiling/installing, I couldn't get solved
yet.
1. Install Paths
I can't use an interactive build process, so the ccmake option does not work
in this case.
Instead, I tried to pass parameters to the cmake call to adjust install
directories etc.
e.g.
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/usr/"
The result is: with make install, everything ends up under "/usr/" (instead of
/usr/local/), even man, lib etc. and not where it should be. I tried passing
those with parameters as well, but they've got ignored by cmake.
2. radiance_support
when running make, it tries to download the rad4R1supp package. I'd prefer to
just provide the already downloaded archive, which does not seemed to be well
supported by the cmake/make system.
However, I placed the archive under the manually created directory
build/Downloads/Download/radiance_support/ .
The problem here seems to be, that the make script seems to accept it (no
download), but nothing from that gets actually build/installed.
If all goes well, I should get some rpm's with the open-build-service in the
end. You can follow the progress on
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=radiance&project=home%3Alumnis
However, there are quite a few things left to get there.
The cmake setup needs some improvements, at the moment a number of "hacks" are
needed to get the current state, which could be fixed in the cmake setup,
mainly the path/install issues.
Any comments/help would be appreciated.
