The CMake version that comes with apt-get install in Ubuntu is a little old. The latest version of CMake 2.8.9 is required in the project. This version is packaged with CPack. to experience the convenience of publishing a CPack, try it out.

First, uninstall the installed old version CMake

Apt-get autoremove cmake

Then download:

Cd/usr

Wget http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.9-Linux-i386.tar.gz

Decompress:

Tar zxvf cmake-2.8.9-Linux-i386.tar.gz

Now, let's take a look at the unzipped directory structure:

1. # Tree-L 2
2. .
3. ── Bin
4. │ ── Ccmake
5. │ ── Cmake
6. │ ── Cmake-gui
7. │ ── Cpack
8. │ ── Ctest
9. ── Doc
10. │ ── Cmake-2.8.
11. ├ ── Man
12. │ ── Man1
13. ── Share
14. ── Aclocal
15. ── Applications
16. ── Cmake-2.8
17. ── Mime
18. ── Pixmaps
20. 11 directories, 5 files

# tree -L 2.├── bin│   ├── ccmake│   ├── cmake│   ├── cmake-gui│   ├── cpack│   └── ctest├── doc│   └── cmake-2.8├── man│   └── man1└── share    ├── aclocal    ├── applications    ├── cmake-2.8    ├── mime    └── pixmaps11 directories, 5 files

There are various cmake product programs under bin, and cpack is also available. Very good. It is needed for the subsequent project.

 

Now create link:

1. Ln-s/usr/cmake-2.8.9-Linux-i386/bin/*/usr/bin/

ln -s /usr/cmake-2.8.9-Linux-i386/bin/* /usr/bin/

Then run the following command to check:

1. # Cmake -- version
2. Cmake version 2.8.9

# cmake --versioncmake version 2.8.9

OK. The latest cmake version is successfully installed.

 

CMake official books are very expensive and always later than the latest version. If you want to see the latest documents, we recommend that you refer:
