I have the following line in a CMakeLists.txt file...
else
message(FATAL_ERROR "Could not locate Lua 5.1.\n"
"Please download from Lua website.")
endif
When I run cmake, I get the following error...
Parse error. Expected "(", got newline with text "
".
Okay, I figure. That isn't valid syntax, so I'll just edit the cmake file to put it all on a line like so...
message(FATAL_ERROR "Could not locate Lua 5.1.\nPlease download from Lua website.")
Go to the directory where I ran cmake, delete all the cache stuff, re-run it, and I get the same error as before. I've even deleted that whole line and I keep getting the same error. I'm obviously missing something crucial that defines how cmake operates, but I'm not sure what.
Any help is appreciated.
The if, else, elseif, and endif all need () after them.

In this picture of what my terminal looks like right now, the red is the command I executed, and the yellow is the error that I got that seems to be throwing everything off.
I'm trying to build llvm for a project I'm supposed to run/test, and I'm getting this error that the command "append_list_if" is unknown. This is all sort of new to me, so I'm curious as to how to fix this.
That is also why I've attached a photo of the terminal in case there are other things present in this picture that need to be fixed that I don't see.
There is no such function in CMake. See search results for append_list_if in documentation. I may suppose that you use the snippet from another project. In this case, you can search for the function there.
I found the similar one at github.com/llvm-mirror:
# Appends value to all lists in ARGN, if the condition is true.
macro(append_list_if condition value)
if(${condition})
foreach(list ${ARGN})
list(APPEND ${list} ${value})
endforeach()
endif()
endmacro()
You can try it.
I am trying to compile a library with CMake. This library uses CMake with the pods build system.
During configuring I get the following error:
CMake Error at cmake/pods.cmake:257 (string):
string sub-command STRIP requires two arguments.
In the specific file pods.cmake the command looks like this:
execute_process(COMMAND
${PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE} --cflags-only-I ${ARGN}
OUTPUT_VARIABLE _pods_pkg_include_flags)
string(STRIP ${_pods_pkg_include_flags} _pods_pkg_include_flags)
which looks fine to me. Any ideas why this error occurs? I don't understand why cmake complains that it needs two arguments for the STRIP command when it clearly has two.
Note: I use cmake 2.8.12.2, but according to the documentation this should be valid.
While your CMake file does syntactically contain two arguments, ${_pods_pkg_include_flags} can be empty. If so, it is not an argument semantically and never reaches string(), which then sees just one. If it's possible for a string to be empty (and you want to treat it as an empty string in such case instead of skipping it), quote it:
string(STRIP "${_pods_pkg_include_flags}" _pods_pkg_include_flags)
When I try to compile nettle-2.7.1, I get the following:
root#tcx2270-19:~/nettle-2.7.1# make
make: Warning: Can't find aes-decrypt-internal.o.d': No such file or directory
make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 594: Read of include fileaes-decrypt-internal.o.d' failed
Has anyone seen this issue? Thanks.
I also had the exact same problem. It has nothing to do with gmp. The ./configure script generates a broken Makefile. After doing some analyzation of the generated Makefile I figured out a solution.
On the very bottom of the generated Makefile search for the line that looks like the following:
DEP_FILES = $(SOURCES:.c=.$(OBJEXT).d) $(SOURCES:.c=.p$(OBJEXT).d) asm.d
You can fix the build by changing it to the following line:
DEP_FILES = $(SOURCES:.c=.c.$(OBJEXT).d) $(SOURCES:.c=.c.p$(OBJEXT).d) asm.d
Additionally, we have to fix the Makefiles in all sub-directories.
For ./tools/Makefile, on the very bottom, find the line that looks like:
include $(SOURCES:.c=.$(OBJEXT).d)
and change it to
include $(SOURCES:.c=.c.$(OBJEXT).d)
Furthermore, you need to add the following two build-targets:
../libnettle.a:
$(MAKE) -C .. libnettle.a
../libhogweed.a:
$(MAKE) -C .. libhogweed.a
For ./testsuite/Makefile, on the very bottom, find the line that looks like this:
DEP_FILES = $(SOURCES:.c=.$(OBJEXT).d) $(CXX_SOURCES:.cxx=.$(OBJEXT).d)
and change it to:
DEP_FILES = $(SOURCES:.c=.c.$(OBJEXT).d) $(CXX_SOURCES:.cxx=.cxx.$(OBJEXT).d)
Finally, in ./examples/Makefile, again on the very bottom, search for the line that looks like:
include $(SOURCES:.c=.$(OBJEXT).d)
and change it to
include $(SOURCES:.c=.c.$(OBJEXT).d)
Phew, at least for me, that makes the build work. Of course, this is an ugly solution but it gets the job done. A better solution would be to fix the configure-script but I did not have the time to do it yet. It is also worth noting that nettle 3.0 does not have this issue. Too bad gnutls does not work with that newer version.
UPDATE: I created a patch which does all the above fixes in the Makefile.in files. As a result, you don't have to fix them yourselfs. Optimally, just unpack the source, apply the patch and proceed the way you normally would by continuing with the ./configure.

I need link my program against Kerberos authentication library (gssapi_krb5) with the corresponding headers gssapi/gssapi.h and gssapi/gssapi_krb5.h included in the source file.
Currently, the compilation will continue if headers are absent and stop with a compile time error saying header files not found.
What I want to implement in the cmake file is to check the existence of the header file and stop compiling if not found.
I add the following code into my CMakeList.txt file.
INCLUDE(CheckIncludeFiles)
CHECK_INCLUDE_FILES(gssapi/gssapi.h;gssapi/gssapi_krb5.h HAVE_KRB_HEADERS)
IF (NOT HAVE_KRB_HEADERS)
RETURN()
ENDIF (NOT HAVE_KRB_HEADERS)
But it still does not act as I expected.
I would like the following lines:
-- Looking for gssapi/gssapi.h - found
-- Looking for gssapi/gssapi_krb5.h - not found
but fail.
Also, the variable HAVE_KRB_HEADERS is empty when output with message macro.
Compile continues until the error described above occurs.
I read somewhere on the Web, this may be because CMake cache.
I'm very new to CMake and not quite clear with that concept.
My CMake version is 2.6.
How could I make this code work? Thank you!
I can't say I'm a huge fan of CheckIncludeFiles because of its difficulty to get right. In principal it's good - it actually creates tiny c files which #include the requested headers and tries to compile them, but it seems to be too easy to get wrong.
I generally prefer just using find_path and/or find_file for this job. This doesn't check the contents of any files found, but usually if you find the required header, its contents are good!
I would use find_path if I needed to know the folder where the header lived. This would usually be because I need to check for other files in the same folder (as in your case), or more commonly because I need to add the folder to an include_directories call.
find_file yields the full path to the file (if found). For headers, normally I don't need the path elsewhere in the CMakeLists - it's just used immediately after the find_file to check the file was actually found.
So, here's how I'd go about checking for "gssapi/gssapi.h" and "gssapi/gssapi_krb5.h"
find_path(GssApiIncludes gssapi.h PATHS <list of folders you'd expect to find it in>)
if(NOT GssApiIncludes)
message(FATAL_ERROR "Can't find folder containing gssapi.h")
endif()
find_file(GssKrb gssapi_krb5.h PATHS ${GssApiIncludes} NO_DEFAULT_PATH)
if(NOT GssKrb)
message(FATAL_ERROR "Can't find gssapi_krb5.h in ${GssApiIncludes}")
endif()
If you do this, then if required you could add
include_directories(${GssApiIncludes})
so that in your source code you can do
#include "gssapi.h"
#include "gssapi_krb5.h"
For anyone who has to work with CHECK_INCLUDE_FILES, the documentation lists a variable called CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES where you can set additional include paths apart from the default headers.
In a CMake file:
LIST(APPEND CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES "gssapi")
From the command line:
cmake . --DCMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES="gssapi"
If all else fails, you can set the -I<dir> flag manually. However, this is not recommended as it not portable across compilers.
# note the extra space before `-I`
STRING(APPEND CMAKE_C_FLAGS " -Igssapi")
STRING(APPEND CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS " -Igssapi") # for C++
Also note that C++ headers have a different macro called CheckIncludeFileCXX.
I hate Xcode 4! It crashes all the time and finally it gives me an error in CABase.h file which is an library header file that I am not allowed to modify..
I don't even know how this file is broken.
How to fix this problem? It complains like
"Expected *before*
Expected '=',',',';','asm' or '_attribute_' before 'extern'
Also, how can I completely remove Xcode on my Mac and re-install?
You probably just have a simple error, perhaps in a header which is included prior to CABase.h. Use a "divide and conquer" strategy to locate it.
To answer your last question:
$ sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools –mode=all
This happened to me just because I had the letter 's' at the beginning of one of my implementation files. I must have missed the cmd key when cmd+s for saving the file. Luckily, another compile error discovered this and removing the 's' fixed both errors.
For example,
s//
// GraphingViewController.m
