Hi, I'm currently trying to write a cmake script, which downloads some source code and compile it during the configuration step. In my case this I want to try it with BLAS from netlib.org because it represents the problem in a good way ( and I need it for BLAS and similar structured source code). That background is: If a necessary library isn't found on the system, I will download the reference version and compile it.
Therefore I wrote the following code: # Download and Build reference BLAS MESSAGE(STATUS " --> BUILD BLAS") file(MAKE_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/build) SET (BLAS_DIR ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/build/BLAS) MESSAGE(STATUS " --> DOWNLOAD BLAS") file(DOWNLOAD http://www.netlib.org/blas/blas.tgz ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/build/blas.tgz SHOW_PROGRESS) MESSAGE(STATUS " --> EXTRACT BLAS") execute_process(COMMAND tar xzf blas.tgz WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/build/ ) MESSAGE(STATUS " --> COMPILE BLAS: " "${CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER} ${CMAKE_FORTRAN_FLAGS} -c -O2 *.f in ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/build/BLAS" ) execute_process(COMMAND "${CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER} ${CMAKE_FORTRAN_FLAGS} -c -O2 *.f" WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/build/BLAS/ ) execute_process(COMMAND ar cr libblas.a *.f WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/build/BLAS/) This works until the archive is extracted. The compile step seems to be not executed. The ar step claims that there is not such file *.f How can I get this running? best regards, Martin _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
