KDevelop : You need to select a cmake binary

Asked by Kim Lyon

I am in the process of porting an application onto Linux . I initially set the project up in Code::Blocks and this went well - it is compiling ok. .

The application requires a GUI and I have settled on the KDE GUI in the first instance . As such I have installed the KDevelop - K Desktop Environment Version 4.3.2 (KDE 4.3.2) . When I create the project :-

KDE 4 GUI Application

it comes back with :

You need to select a cmake binary

it doesn't tell me what a cmake binary is - is this the output file name ? It doesn't display a choice . The help pages are missing . ( And when I cancel the dialog the KDevelop crashes . )

I want to keep things as simple as possible and if I can do it all in Code::Blocks that would be even better .

Any Ideas ?

Many Thanks

Kim Lyon

Have you installed cmake?

sudo apt-get nistall cmake build-essential

Should do it.

Many Thanks for getting back to me . That works .

I had assumed that KDevelop would install everything that it required - even as a default . However obviously not . The documentation , unfortunately , is very lacking .

Submit a bug stating that kdevelop doesn't install what it needs. It will hopefully get resolved.
