[Avogadro-devel] zlib cmake error building avogadro-squared on ubuntu

[Jens]

Hi,

I just tried building avogadro using avogadro-squared
(https://github.com/cryos/avogadro-squared) on Kubuntu 9.10.

I cloned the repository, made a build dir and then ran cmake, with the
following results:

I looked in the top level CMakeLists.txt file and found the line:

option(USE_SYSTEM_ZLIB Should we use the system zlib? OFF)

So I changed that to ON, cleared out the build directory, and re-ran
cmake, and this time got the error message:


-- Looking for _POSIX_TIMERS - found
-- Found ZLIB: /usr/lib/libz.so

Is this a cmake bug, a bug in the cmake files, or a bug with me. ;)

Thanks,

Jens

Hi Jens,

 Hey Marcus!

 Many thanks for that.

 I was using cmake 2.8.0. I downloaded the latest version (2.8.7) from
 the website and built it from source and it then worked fine.

 Maybe the required cmake version for avogadro-squared should be bumped
 to stop prevent anyone else hitting this?

Agreed - I will try to figure out which version added support for MD5
and bump it to that.
