Installation problem about fairroot HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi Tobias,

your CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX should be different from your build directory. Otherwise you try to install a file „onto“ itself, which results in the error you see.

I will check if we can have a safety check in CMake which raises an error when the build directory and the installation directory are the same directory.

Ciao

Dear FairRooters,

I get the following error message when I call make install in my build folder of FairRoot:
CMake Error at fairtools/cmake_install.cmake:56 (FILE):
file INSTALL cannot find
"/home/ikp1/stockman/fairroot/FairRootGit/FairRoot_build/lib/libFairTools.so.0.0.0".
Call Stack (most recent call first):
cmake_install.cmake:60 (INCLUDE)

After make this lib is still there but it vanishes when I call "make install".

I called cmake out of the build directory with the following command:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/ikp1/stockman/fairroot/FairRootGit/FairRoot_build -G"Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_ECLIPSE_GENERATE_SOURCE_PROJECT=TRUE ../FairRoot

Does anyone have an idea what is going wrong?

Cheers,

Tobias

Hi Tobias,

the check is now implemented in the FairRoot dev branch and the release candidate for the upcoming release. Sorry that this took so long. I simply forgot to commit the patch.
