(kind of stupid) installation problem #7548

Open felixw22 opened 5 months ago

felixw22 commented 5 months ago

Describe the bug When installing the latest release in a linux system ( i think on all platforms ) i obviously have to run cmake. And the chance is quite high that some dependency is not updated or there. Cmake stops and tells me that for example i have swig 4.0.0 installed but at least 4.1.X is required. After updating my swig version, cmake still stops and tells me its the wrong version. Rerunning, reconfiguring, restarting the pc doesnt fix it. The Problem There is a cache file generated which stores the version numbers of the dependencies. The fix Delete the cache files generated and rerun.

Expected behavior I expect a cache file to not be filled with version numbers since that makes little to no sense. There is no big efficiency advantage when not doing that, and it would have saved me about 40 minutes of my life trying to remove and install different swig versions.

Have a great day
