error from irony-server-install after upgrading

[ghost]

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX\=~/.emacs.d/irony/ ~.emacs.d/elpa/irony-20151016.1420/server
 && cmake --build . --use-stderr --config Release --target install
CMake Error: The source "~/.emacs.d/elpa/irony-20151016.1420/server/CMakeLists.txt" does not 
match the source "~/.emacs.d/elpa/irony-20150831.144/server/CMakeLists.txt" used to generate
cache.  Re-run cmake with a different source directory.

Hum I see,

I guess irony-install-server should be implemented differently, I'm wondering if there is a way to get the elpa version string easily.

Right now I create a build dir like this:

                        (file-name-as-directory (format "build-irony-server-%s" (irony-version)))

We would need irony-elpa-version or something like this.

Anyway, the fix is just to remove the build directory in /tmp.

Repro:

• Install a fresh version from MELPA
• Go to /home/user1/.emacs.d/elpa/irony-/server/
• cmake .
• get an error about an in-source build (but still creates a CMakeCache.txt in the directory)
• run irony-server-install and the build fails.
• remove the cache file, irony-server-install works.

I don't know how the cache file got there after the install (I didn't try to build manually), but that was the problem.

That's really weird, the MELPA package looks fine, will see if someone comes up with the same issue but I don't see how this can happen, except by editing the command in irony-install-server.

Didn't delve too much into this but I reproduced by.

irony-server-install package-list-packages restart emacs irony-install-server -> errors out since cache directory is still there.

Reopening.

I can confirm that this issue is still on-going.
