Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Unable to build on 32-bit Slackware-Current system (cmake configuration problems)

[Frederick E. Stevens]

Hi,

Just tried building on my machine.  Slackware64-14.1 with cmake 3.5.1 
built from Slackware64-current.  I would have tried this on a 32 bit 
machine but I don't have any running any more.  What I found is that 
cmake 3.5 fails with errors when configuring gnuradio 3.7.9.1 build.  I 
modified the gnuradio.SlackBuild so that ccmake is executed instead of 
cmake.  That way I could see what was configured before trying to 
compile.  With cmake 3.5.1 on the first configure pass I receive the 
following error messages:

CMake Error at volk/lib/CMakeLists.txt:134 (list):
   list sub-command REMOVE_ITEM requires list to be present.
 Call Stack (most recent call first):
   volk/lib/CMakeLists.txt:159 (OVERRULE_ARCH)



 CMake Error at volk/lib/CMakeLists.txt:134 (list):
   list sub-command REMOVE_ITEM requires list to be present.
 Call Stack (most recent call first):
   volk/lib/CMakeLists.txt:188 (OVERRULE_ARCH)



 CMake Error at volk/lib/CMakeLists.txt:134 (list):
   list sub-command REMOVE_ITEM requires list to be present.
 Call Stack (most recent call first):
   volk/lib/CMakeLists.txt:258 (OVERRULE_ARCH)

On the second pass:

CMake Error at 
/usr/share/cmake-3.5/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:203 
(CMAKE_PARSE_ARGUMENTS):
   Unknown CMake command "CMAKE_PARSE_ARGUMENTS".
 Call Stack (most recent call first):
   /usr/share/cmake-3.5/Modules/FindPythonLibs.cmake:265 
(FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS)
   CMakeLists.txt:234 (find_package)

Eventually, I went to cmake 3.4.3 and gnuradio is building right now.  
You might want to check your cmake and go to pre 3.5 to see if that is 
the issue that you are having.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Fred
