I would like install gfortran (or gcc or python for example) using cmake.
I know that I can write in my terminal:
sudo apt-get install gfortran
But I have to install a lot of programs in several computers and I would like write something like a "script" but in cmake in order to install all the programs "automatically".
I have looked for in tutorials and forums but I have not found anything.
Thanks

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and I am updating the rpmbuild spec file of an application that now uses Qt.
The packages that I need are the following:
sudo apt-get build-essential
sudo apt-get install mesa-common-dev -y
sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev -y
sudo apt-get qt5-default
sudo apt-get qtwebengine5-dev
I know the spec file has "BuildRequires" and "Requires" dependency tags...any help in writing this as well as some examples would be helpful. I have a working spec file I just need to add the dependencies.
I think there is some confusion here. spec files are used to generate rpm files. However Ubuntu uses deb files.
Supposing you really want to create an rpm; then you need to know this:
BuildRequires
these packages are required for building the rpm. Typically you will need build-essential and the '*-dev` packages for building your application
Requires
these packages are required upon installation for your application to work; mostly you don't need your build-tools anymore, but you still need the qt5-default for example.
PS: on a little side note I might be one of the only people in the world building deb packages using spec files with a special conversion script https://bitbucket.org/klaussfreire/spec2deb/src/default/ but I wouldn't really recommend that.
I can't seem to install CGAL properly on my computer. I'm using Ubuntu, and I ran these commands, like it says to do in the directions.
sudo apt-get install libcgal-dev
sudo apt-get install libcgal-demo
They install fine, no errors. But then the directions say to cd into CGAL-4.7, but couldn't find it. I found a CGAL under /usr/include, and it seems to include all the algorithm files. But there are no MakeFile/CMakeLists to cmake.
I'm not sure what to do?
Never mind, once I found it, I tried this below and it worked
cd /path/to/program
cgal_create_CMakeLists -s executable
cmake -DCGAL_DIR=$HOME/CGAL-4.7 .
make
I am using Point cloud library 1.5.1. When I run CMake 3.4.0-rc2 to build my project, it has error:
Could NOT find PkgConfig (missing: PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE)
How do I fix this error?
This error is raised because the pkg-config utility is not available on your system.
Using PkgConfig with CMake is not a truly cross-platform solution, as Windows does not come with the pkg-config utility installed. (The PCL developers should instead use find_package() in their CMake. Perhaps, this is worth opening up a bug report on their Github.) On Linux, this is an easy fix; you can install pkg-config like this:
sudo apt-get install pkg-config
However, on Windows, the process is more involved. There are several solutions for installing pkg-config on Windows documented here. I'm not sure which most directly applies to your situation, so I suggest reading through some of those. After successfully installing the pkg-config utility on your Windows machine, clear your CMake cache, and re-run CMake. This should remove the error, and allow your build to proceed.
Install vcpkg: https://vcpkg.io/en/getting-started.html
Install pkgconf:
.\vcpkg install pkgconf
If use CMake, delete the Cache files/folders: CMakeCache.txt and CMakeFiles. After that, run the command
cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:\dev\vcpkg\scripts\buildsystems\vcpkg.cmake
On Fedora 34, it was because of multiple pkg-config
/home/sapillai/go/bin/pkg-config
/home/sapillai/go/bin/pkg-config
/usr/bin/pkg-config
/home/sapillai/go/bin/pkg-config
I deleted the others and kept /usr/bin/pkg-config. Error was gone.
I am using Ubuntu 14.04. I'm trying to install a program which requires cmake. When I run cmake src/ I get:
qmake: could not exec '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmake': No such file or directory
What am I doing wrong?
Does the trick:
sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake
You do not need to install half a gigabyte of qt sdk!
I read on another post that the problem has something to do with CMake not being able to find Qt4 qmake.
However in my case, it was simply a matter of not having qt4-qmake. This solved it (but weighs a heavy 440MB):
sudo apt-get install qt-sdk
For newer versions of Ubuntu, if you have only installed version 5 of the Qt Framework, you may get this error. If you want to use Qt version 5 by default, then you should run the following command to fix the error:
sudo apt install qt5-default
You need the qt dependences:
sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev
as it says in docs: https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit/wiki/Installing-Qt-and-compiling-capybara-webkit#debian--ubuntu
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qt5-default libqt5webkit5-dev gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-tools gstreamer1.0-x
works for me in Ubuntu 18.04
You can use QtCreator to compile the cmake project too. This is only advantageous over the accepted answer if you already have QtCreator installed, I notice you are using a qmake project so this might be likely.
The main advantage of this is that qt creator will be configured to use the qmake tool without the need to install the command line configured version of qmake.
Incidentally, I get this error if I try to run the qmake executable bundled with QtCreator on the command line.
I want to use kdevelop4 for c++ programming but when I try to run the application kdevelop4 wants cmake binary file! How can I solve this problem?
It sounds like you need to install CMake. If you are on a Linux system, aptitude install cmake (for Debian/ubuntu) or yum install cmake (for Red Hat/Fedora) should do the trick. On Windows, you may need to download and install CMake yourself.
