Re: Building with CMake

[DaveC49]

Hi Rob,

I do have a build file under gnucash and the cache files were located there.
I have deleted all files in it.

I'll take your advice and get a clean clone up and compile that without
modifying anyof the files. I had already modified the files to include a
feature for addinga link to external documents to invoices/bills, etc. I can
then transfer the modified files from the current sources directory once I
have it building successfully.

Having done that I can now identify the problem. I had made the build
directory a subdirectory of the gnucash file created when I cloned gnucash
from github instead of a directory in the same folder. The cmake is now
working OK but ninja is dropping out with an error.

/usr/local/include/boost/mpl/vector/aux_/push_front.hpp:22:45: fatal error:
/usr/local/include/boost/mpl/vector/aux_/item.hpp: Timer expired

Which is clearly something to do with my boost installation - possibly the
wrong version. I hav both 1.64.0 and 1.58.0 installed and it is currently
linking to 1.64.0. That I can sort out fairly easily.

Thanks for your help in sorting me out on cmake. I havent done any C++
development since the mid 1990s , I was trying to get familiar with Eclipse
and cmake at the same time as finding my way around the gnucash architecture
and got myself in a knot.

Best wishes

David Cousens

 Hi David,

Do you have CMake cache files in
/home/david/Documents/SoftwareDevelopment/GnucashDevelopment/sources/gnucash/src?
I think you do. If so, you need to remove them.

>From what I can tell, you haven't created a separate CMake build directory,
which you should. I usually use 'gnucash-build' that lives in the same
directory as gnucash (so in the 'sources' directory for you). Other folks
will create a 'build' directory in the gnucash source directory and use
that.

Run these commands to do a clean clone and build in a /tmp directory. If
these work, you might want to remove your .../sources/gnucash directory and
start over. Also, you should consider building with ninja for faster build
times (CMake generates a build using 'make' by default).

Commands: (assumes bash)

$ rm -rf /tmp/gcdev
$ mkdir /tmp/gcdev
$ cd /tmp/gcdev
$ git clone https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash.git
$ mkdir gnucash-build
$ cd gnucash-build
# For ninja, add '-G Ninja' to cmake command below before '../gnucash'
# Also, make sure /opt/gnucash-devel is user-writable
$ cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/gnucash-devel ../gnucash
$ make -j 4 && TZ=America/Los_Angeles make -j 4 check && make install
# or: ninja && TZ=America/Los_Angeles ninja check && ninja install

Let me know how it goes.

Re: Building with CMake

[DaveC49]

 Hi further progress
I ran cmake with the --trace option ( *cmake --trace -D
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/gnucash-devel ../gnucash*). It appears that cmake
is executing the call to add the libqof directory
.../gnucash/src/CMakeLists.txt  line 141 and the qof/test subdirectory
.../gnucash/src/libqof/CMakeLists.txt(3) without ever having called the
INCLUDE (GncAddTest) at line 48 of .../gnucash/CMakeLists.txt. 
In the resultant trace output cmake in fact never seems to enter
.../gnucash/CMakeLists.txt as the trace starts with 
.../gnucash/src/CMakeLists.txt(0):  PROJECT(Project )  and does not appear
to be executing .../gnucash/CMakeLists.txt at all or if it is is executing
it silently.

I have deleted the cach files .../gnucash/CMakeFiles and rerun the above
command but still get the same error and trace output

If I execute *cmake --trace -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/gnucash-devel
../gnucash/CmakeLists.txt*
I obtain 
*cmake: /usr/local/lib/libcurl.so.4: no version information available
(required by cmake)
Running with trace output on.
CMake Error: The source ".../gnucash/CMakeLists.txt" does not match the
source ".../gnucash/src/CMakeLists.txt" used to generate cache.  Re-run
cmake with a different source directory.*
 I confess to being totally confused as to why cmake is not executing
.../gnucash/CmakeLists.txt

The trace output can be accessed using this link to a folder in my dropbox
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/chibk4l66mz1esp/AADDP0EV9pmHjwpUHeow_zkra?dl=0

Thanks for any help anyone can offer

That file should be called CMakeLists.txt (note difference in case). Not 
sure if that will make a difference or not (or maybe you just typed it 
incorrectly in the email).

Hi David,

The GNC_ADD_TEST function is defined in src/cmake_modules/GncAddTest.cmake.
See here:
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/master/src/cmake_modules/GncAddTest.cmake#L40


Perhaps you only have a partial checkout of the branch? What version of
CMake are you using (cmake -version) and on what platform? For what it's
worth, I just checked that master builds on Ubuntu 16.04 without error.

Rob

Building with CMake

[DaveC49]

Hi,
I am getting an error as follows while building a branch from the master for
gnucash to implement links to documents in invoices/bills/creditNotes etc.

$ cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/gnucash-devel ../gnucash
CMake Error at libqof/qof/test/CMakeLists.txt:44 (GNC_ADD_TEST):
  Unknown CMake command "GNC_ADD_TEST".


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I am presuming that GNC_ADD_TEST is a macro but cannot find where it is
defined or if it is defined.  Is anyone able to enlighten me as to where I
can or should find it and what the macro is

Thanks

David Cousens
