[SOLVED] How do I install latest cmake ahead of ubuntu?

[seaworthy4life]

I end up extracting all of these files which certainly do not belong in my personal directory, unless maybe I move the cmake file into the /usr/bin/? and add it to some registry?

Building LMMS got quite simple since 0.4.0 as everything is managed
by cmake now. Therefore make sure you have CMake (>= 2.6.0 recommended) and
then run


mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
make
sudo make install

It looks like I may only have to do this one thing, unless cmake will require access to its parent directory.

Will this work?

I tried that but now it is asking me to make a cmake root. It is also asking for a modules directory in usr/bin which is easy, but ...

[seaworthy4life]

According to qmake, I can probably do one of two things.

1. Download an .sh file, run it with /bin/sh and follow the instructions. (What kind of command line would you use to run this and what directory would the sh file have to be in?)

2. Untare a regular tar file, but in which directory, as it won't work in the personal directory and the untarred package gives you four parent directories - bin, share, man, and doc.

Ok. I copied the .sh file to the root. Then, I thought this would work when I ran this line.

justin@justin-desktop:~$ sudo chmod +x /cmake-2.6.1-Linux-i386.sh

Next thing is that I am supposed to get this shell or something like ./cmake-2.6.1-Linux-i386.sh , but it is not happening. Not sure where to go from here.

I think that maybe the script is missing the proper "shebang line" at the beginning.

[seaworthy4life]

voila, the shebang line, justin@justin-desktop:~$ sudo sh /cmake-2.6.1-Linux-i386.sh , and it ends up putting it in your personal box.

... but it did not register cmake correctly, so I would need to figure out how to utilize these 4 directories of qmake LOCKED in my personal box for the qmake lmms to work properly.

This is the wall that I am at.

justin@justin-desktop:~/Desktop/LMMS/lmms-0.4.0-beta2/build$ cmake ../ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
CMake Error: Could not find CMAKE_ROOT !!!
CMake has most likely not been installed correctly.
