Question

An unknown cmake command error happened when I tried to compile stp on ubuntu 13( x64). The detailed error information is Unknown CMake command "stp_add_public_header".

The version of cmake is 2.8.10.1. Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong here? Thanks.

Was it helpful?

Solution

I was facing the same problem and found the cause to be that I used the wrong source directory (stp/src instead of just stp) in the call of cmake from within my build directory:

cmake -G 'Unix Makefiles' ../stp/src

instead of just

cmake -G 'Unix Makefiles' ../stp

The former gives the error, the latter works fine, because the CMakeLists.txt including the stp_add_public_header command is located in /stp.

Maybe, like me, you were mislead by the INSTALL file in which it says:

cmake -G 'Unix Makefiles' /path/to/stp/source/root

which is NOT referring to stp/src, but to stp.
