error 'the source directory does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt'

39 Views Asked by At

I am attempting to install nektar++ onto my mac following the nektar++ installation guide https://doc.nektar.info/userguide/latest/user-guidese3.html#x7-60001.3.

However when I attempt to build the nektar++ program I encounter an error.

CMake Error: The source directory "/Users/dauoodtariq" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
 Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI

I have completed the prerequisites and have installed Xcode CMake BLAS LAPACK Boost TinyXML

Scotch using the terminal

I have downloaded the tarball and unpacked it.

Then I build the subdirectory and enter it

mkdir -p build && cd build

But when entering into the terminal

ccmake ../

I encounter an error.
