Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1300225
cmake arguments are not correct
Last modified: 2016-01-21 10:33:32 EST
I was rebuilding libical recently and I tried to use arguments shown in the build log [1] in my local build and override the lib directory, but it didn't work. I asked on their list, thinking it's and issue on their side, but the developer pointed me out that it me doing things wrong [2]. In short, koji uses -DLIB_INSTALL_DIR:PATH=/usr/lib but the correct variable to be used, according to the libical developer [2], is -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR:PATH=/usr/lib The later looks like the correct variable, a standard one for cmake, thus I'd add it (not replace, to not break things) it to the argument list of the cmake build command. [1] https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/libical/2.0.0/2.fc24/data/logs/x86_64/build.log [2] http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/libical-devel/2016-January/000654.html
there is nothing that could possibly be changed in koji to fix this, reassigning to libical
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/libical.git/tree/libical.spec Doesn't explicitly set or use either of those, so NOTABUG. Feel free to customize it as you see fit (using the correct CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR here)
(In reply to Dennis Gilmore from comment #1) > there is nothing that could possibly be changed in koji to fix this, > reassigning to libical Ehm, my fault, the CMAKE_ prefix of the variable made me think that the libical uses a standard cmake variable, but there is no such available [1]. I didn't verify that before posting this bug report. I'm sorry. Otherwise my rant was meant for a build system, which is koji from my point of view, to add the variable into the command line. My request is invalid, as the variable is unknown to cmake. [1] for cmake 3.4.1, the below command returns nothing: $ cmake --help-variable-list | grep LIBDIR
See: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.4/module/GNUInstallDirs.html for what libical uses and supports currently (its CMakeLists.txt uses this module)
