Hi,
As the autotools build functionality is being deprecated, I tried to
build the QPID 0.22 cpp source using the cmake build mechanism today,
but had mixed results. I am building using RHEL5u4 64bit (cmake 2.6
patched 4).
When using Autotools I use the --prefix option on /configure/ as the
built version needs to reside in my companies ClearCase repository and
installing in to the default area(s) is not an option.
Therefore I created a build directory, cd into it and then ran the
following
*cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/vobs/xxx_oss/qpid* ../
Cmake then went off and did its stuff and then I ran /make/ to build the
source. The build worked fine and no errors were reported. Its the
install step that then went wrong. After running /make install/ all the
built cpp components were correctly installed in the directory defined
by the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX macro, but when it came to undertake the
installation of some python components, they ignored the the
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX value and just tried to install the packages in the
default python library directory, which failed as I do not have
privileges to do this.
So the deprecation of the Autotools build would be a bit of a show
stopper for me, as the Cmake installation is not able to replicate the
autotools functionality.
I have undertaken a quick Google and this seems to be a known issue with
the Python module(s) that come with Cmake.
Has anyone come across this, and if so have they managed to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
Clive
