QUCS-Modular - compilation with cmake has problem with "no such file" #1060

Closed Circa-Tree closed 3 months ago

Circa-Tree commented 3 years ago

The README.md has instructions for using cmake as an option to compile QUCS-Modular.

1) Using CMake QT Gui to compile QUCS-Modular, there is an error reported ;

/cmake.stale/legacy/action/../../../legacy/action/MakeList CMake Error at readMakeList.txt:20 (file): file failed to open for reading (No such file or directory):

The only file at that location is "CMakeLists.txt".

Q1) Is the wrong file being called, or is it incorrectly named, or what else might be going wrong?

2) The "CMakeLists.txt" file has a couple of lines with questionmarks, such as ;

"19 # TODO: define once?" "25 # really?" as well as "35 # TODO figure out way to copy plugin into expected QUCS_PLUGPATH"

Q2) Is this file sufficient for successful compilation, or is there a bit more work required to complete it?

These instructions are wishful thinking. Perhaps an update is needed. The cmake files should be in a separate place, and the README file should/could reference them.

It never really worked, and some parts might be out of date. See cmake.stale/README for a tentative, possibly incomplete TODO list.

I don't really care, which build system you prefer. I can't maintain more than one. At the moment, when in doubt, build with autotools.

This situation won't change until there is a working alternative...
