Cmake error

[rtd5...@gmail.com]

I followed the initial set-up steps for compiling OpenVSP, but when I get to the Cmake portion I get several messages

     make -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DVSP_USE_SYSTEM_FLTK=true
CMake Error: The source directory "/home/rtd/Desktop/OpenVSP/build" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

The cmake command listed on the Wiki is a single command -- a very long one.

From the output you've pasted here, it looks like you've entered it as
a sequence of commands. Try copy & pasting it as a single line, with
spaces between the elements and see how that works for you.

Seems to have worked, but I cannot find the executable file. Thanks for the help.

Ok, from your 'SuperProject' build directory (the one you executed
cmake and make in), issue these commands:

cd OpenVSP-prefix/src/OpenVSP-build
make package

The first command will change into the embedded VSP build (separate
from the embedded Libraries build). The second command will collect
the results of the build process into a *.zip file like the ones I
upload to the internet. We do this because the build results are
somewhat scattered across the build system.

Next, copy that Zip file wherever you want, and unzip it to use the
goodies inside.

 When I enter the make package command my computer outputs:
     make: *** No rule to make target `package'.  Stop.
I am pretty sure that I am in the correct directory. Thanks for the help so far.

The only thing I can think is that you aren't in the right directory.

Type in

pwd

To get a full report of the directory that you're in.
