Explain exactly why CMake is looking for a package configuration file
and who is expected to provide what:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:7 (find_package):
By not providing "Find<pkg>.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH the caller
has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by
"<pkg>", but CMake did not find one.
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "<pkg>"
with any of the names:
<pkg>Config.cmake
<pkg>-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "<pkg>" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or
set "<pkg>_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.
If "<pkg>" provides separate development package or SDK be sure
it has been installed.
The first paragraph explains how CMake is interpreting the intention of
the caller. This puts the blame or credit at the call site in the
project code where it belongs both when it is a bug and when it is
intentional. It can be dropped in NO_MODULE mode.

This is CMake, the cross-platform, open-source make system. CMake is distributed under the BSD License, see Copyright.txt. For documentation see the Docs/ directory once you have built CMake or visit http://www.cmake.org. Building CMake ============== Supported Platforms ------------------- MS Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, HP-UX, IRIX, BeOS, QNX Other UNIX-like operating systems may work too out of the box, if not it shouldn't be a major problem to port CMake to this platform. Contact the CMake mailing list in this case: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake If you don't have any previous version of CMake already installed -------------------------------------------------------------- * UNIX/Mac OSX/MinGW/MSYS/Cygwin: You need to have a compiler and a make installed. Run the bootstrap script you find the in the source directory of CMake. You can use the --help option to see the supported options. You may want to use the --prefix=<install_prefix> option to specify a custom installation directory for CMake. You can run the bootstrap script from within the CMake source directory or any other build directory of your choice. Once this has finished successfully, run make and make install. So basically it's the same as you may be used to from autotools-based projects: $ ./bootstrap; make; make install * Other Windows: You need to download and install a binary release of CMake in order to build CMake. You can get these releases from http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Download.html . Then proceed with the instructions below. You already have a version of CMake installed --------------------------------------------- You can build CMake as any other project with a CMake-based build system: run the installed CMake on the sources of this CMake with your preferred options and generators. Then build it and install it. For instructions how to do this, see http://www.cmake.org/HTML/RunningCMake.html
