Hi,

I am getting the below error when I try to install BioDynaMo:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:338 (MESSAGE): FATAL ERROR You need to specify both ParaView_DIR and Qt5_DIR in order to build BioDynaMo. This is needed only if you want to use your own versions of ParaView and Qt.

Steps I followed:

cd applications git clone https://github.com/BioDynaMo/biodynamo.git cd biodynamo ./prerequisites.sh all mkdir build && cd build cmake ..

I tried to cmake with the following flags which I get through running 'which paraview' to find the location of paraview and Qt:

cmake -DParaView_DIR=/usr/local/bin/paraview -DQt5_DIR=/usr/local/Cellar/qt@5/5.15.12/lib/cmake/Qt5/Qt5Config.cmake

But this time I get:
Make Error: The source directory "/Users/e/applications/biodynamo/build" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.

Setup

  • OS: Macos 12.7
  • XCode: 14.2
  • CPU: Intel
