I'm a newby as far as compiling and building goes but I think I successfully installed 10.2 on my computer. One thing I got confused from the README is I thought I was supposed to run cmake, make, and make install/strip from the "build" directory but it didn't work from there, it was looking for files in the ./hiawatha-10.2 directory. Did I misunderstand the instructions or is there an error in the README?

If you first create a build directory and that change to it, don't run 'cmake', but 'cmake ..'. Did you do that?

Hi Hugo,

Thanks for your great work. The latest version of Hiawatha I could get from my distro/variants was 8.6 which I have been using on my website. I wanted to see if I could compile the latest and get Banshee working. I couldn't even tell you for sure how the cmake.. works. (commas after options, brackets, etc.) Like I said, I am a newby at this. When I looked at CMake --help and saw that the -i switch was the "wizard" mode, I decided that was about my speed. Below was how it turned out... After that, I just did "make" then "make install". When I ran the wizard from within the build directory, I got "CMake Error: The source directory "../hiawatha-10.2/build" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt."... I tried copying/moving files into the build directory but got more errors so I moved to the ../hiawatha-10.2 directory and it worked from there. It does work, but I was just curious as to why. The difference in starting the old and new is the old I just type "hiawatha" and the new is "/usr/local/sbin/hiawatha"

Just relaying my experience in the forum. Thanks again.

Well, once I realized make .. simply m a k e then a space then two dots, .....

Laugh at my expense but I hope this helps someone. Seems to me that it works both ways.

cmake needs the CmakeLists.txt file. It looks for it in the current directory. If you run it from the build directory, you need the specify where it is located, hence the .. parameter. There is no difference in running cmake from the source root directory or from the build directory in terms of the binaries it creates. Using the build directory only keeps the source directory clean. Removing the build directory returns it to its original state. Simply look in the build directory after a compile. You don't want all that stuff in your source, unless you compile and install once and then remove the entire source directory.

What distro are you using? If it uses .deb or .rpm packages, you can use one of the make_* scripts in the directory extra to create a Hiawatha package. Makes installation and deinstallation easier en cleaner.

Thanks for the explanation. I did notice that the way you have it puts a lot more files in the build directory. I use various Puppy variants that are derived from various places (Slackware, Ubuntu, Debian, etc.) Since these are so small and it is so easy to scrap and start over, I use these to try things out then start over clean (with a new savefile/directory) if I mess something up.
