cmake -DCMAKE issue.

[blackranger07]

During the cmake step, I get the following output. I even tried adding the path to rippled but still doesn't work. I know I'm missing something.

root@parallels-vm:/home/parallels/VALIDATOR-TOOL/build/gcc.debug# cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release CMake Warning: No source or binary directory provided. Both will be assumed to be the same as the current working directory, but note that this warning will become a fatal error in future CMake releases.

CMake Error: The source directory "/home/parallels/VALIDATOR-TOOL/build/gcc.debug" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.

Hi, hope you figured this out already. You missed the ../.. in the cmake command. It's cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../.. That is telling cmake the path to the source files (where the CMakeLists.txt file lives.)

Hi legleux,

Yeah I made sure to include previously and I still get the error. Here are the steps that were taken. I appreciate the help.

Output from install...

CMake Error: The source directory "/home/parallels/VALIDATOR-TOOL" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
Error: could not load cache
./validator-keys: No such file or directory

Steps taken

mkdir VALIDATOR-TOOL
  DIR=`pwd`
  cd ${DIR}/VALIDATOR-TOOL
  mkdir -p build/gcc.debug && cd build/gcc.debug
  apt install cmake -y
  git clone https://github.com/ripple/validator-keys-tool.git
  cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../..
  cmake --build .
  ./validator-keys

I think I see where I may have gone wrong.

Ignore if you aleady saw it but... ../.. is the directory where the source code lives, the root CMakeLists.txt. You created the build directory then cd'd to it then cloned the repo in that , then called cmake on a directory 2 dirs up (your starting dir, where there is no CMakeLists.txt, hence the error.) Your post must be a script bc you would have gotten the error you posted after the cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../.. call. Step 1. Cmake configure cmake -S <source_dir> -B <build_dir> Step 2. Build it cmake --build <build_dir>

Sounds like this has been resolved, but if not, feel free to open a new issue. Thanks!
