I'm trying to install VTK but I'm getting the following error CMake Error at Common/Core/cmake_install.cmake:47 (file): file INSTALL cannot find "/home/VTK-6.3.0/VTKBuild/lib/libvtkCommonCore-6.3.so.1". Call Stack (most recent call first): cmake_install.cmake:100 (include) These are the steps I followed cd VTKBuild cmake ..\ -D"CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/home/VTK-6.3.0/VTKBuild" make make install Can anyone point me to what might be going wrong I had to turn off shared library option, these are the configuration I used to build VTK mkdir VTKBuild cd VTKBuild cmake ..\ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=

I can't find any information on how to install Qt built on Windows. In wiki article How to set up shadow builds on Mac and Linux there's description of -prefix option in configure script but this option is not available on Windows. I know I can use Qt right from the build folder but it does not seem the right thing not to perform an install step. One problem with this approach is size; Qt's build folder takes about 4GB space whereas after installing using binary installer Qt takes about 1GB space. I guess the difference is due to temporary files created during building. I hope some install

Every time you compile something from source, you go through the same 3 steps: $ ./configure $ make $ make install I understand, that it makes sense to divide the installing process into different steps, but I don't get it, why each and every coder on this planet has to write the same three commands again and again just to get one single job done. From my point of view it would make totally sense to have a ./install.sh script automatically delivered with the source code which contains the following text: #!/bin/sh ./configure make make install why would people do the 3 steps separately?
