The CMake package contains a modern toolset used for generating Makefiles. It is a successor of the auto-generated configure script and aims to be platform- and compiler-independent. A significant user of CMake is KDE since version 4.
Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.

GCC-13.2.0 (for gfortran), git-2.43.0 (for use during tests), Mercurial-6.6.2 (for use during tests), OpenJDK-21.0.2 (for use during tests), (Qt-5.15.12 or qt-alternate-5.15.12) or Qt-6.6.1 (for the Qt-based GUI), sphinx-7.2.6 (for building documents), Subversion-1.14.3 (for testing), cppdap, jsoncpp, and rhash
Install CMake by running the following commands:
sed -i '/"lib64"/s/64//' Modules/GNUInstallDirs.cmake && ./bootstrap --prefix=/usr \ --system-libs \ --mandir=/share/man \ --no-system-jsoncpp \ --no-system-cppdap \ --no-system-librhash \ --docdir=/share/doc/cmake-3.28.1 && make
To test the results, issue: LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 bin/ctest -j<N>
-O cmake-3.28.1-test.log, where <N>
is an integer between 1 and the number of system cores. Setting LC_ALL
is needed to prevent some test failures when some of the locale variables are set to non English locales.
If you want to investigate a problem with a given "problem1-test", use bin/ctest -R "problem1-test" and, to omit it, use bin/ctest -E "problem1-test". These options can be used together: bin/ctest -R "problem1-test" -E "problem2-test". Option -N
can be used to display all available tests, and you can run bin/ctest for a sub-set of tests by using separated by spaces names or numbers as options. Option --help
can be used to show all options.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
sed ... Modules/GNUInstallDirs.cmake: This command disables applications using cmake from attempting to install files in /usr/lib64/.
--system-libs
: This switch forces the build system to link against the system installed version for all needed libraries but those explicitly specified via a --no-system-*
option.
--no-system-jsoncpp
and --no-system-cppdap
: These switches remove the JSON-C++ library from the list of system libraries. A bundled version of that library is used instead.
--no-system-librhash
: This switch removes the librhash library from the list of system libraries used. A bundled version of that library is used instead.
--no-system-{curl,libarchive,libuv,nghttp2}
: Use the corresponding option in the list for the bootstrap if one of the recommended dependencies is not installed. A bundled version of the dependency will be used instead.
--qt-gui
: This switch enables building the Qt-based GUI for CMake.
--parallel=
: This switch enables performing the CMake bootstrap with multiple jobs at one time.
