How to use cmake in a slackbuild?

CONFIGURE:
----------

Code:

./configure \
 --prefix-dir=/usr \
 --binary-dir=/games \
 --data-dir=/share/games/openttd \
 --icon-dir=/share/pixmaps \
 --man-dir=/man/man6 \
 --doc-dir=/doc/$PRGNAM-$VERSION \
 --personal-dir=.openttd \
 --install-dir=$PKG

CMAKE:
------

Code:

cmake \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr \ ??
??
..

How do you pass the parameters to cmake? I can't find a listing of cmake variables.

You can run `ccmake ..` in the build directory (assuming it is one directory below CMakeLists.txt), or check CMakeCache.txt after running cmake the first time.

Not sure these are up-to-date but there are templates for various package types at: https://slackbuilds.org/templates/

Anyway, the cmake-template.SlackBuild suggests trying ccmake:

Code:

<<snip>>

# Your application will probably need different cmake flags; these are only
# examples.  You might use 'ccmake' to see the available flags...
mkdir -p build
cd build
  cmake \
    -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING="$SLKCFLAGS" \
    -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING="$SLKCFLAGS" \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
    -DLIB_SUFFIX=${LIBDIRSUFFIX} \
    -DMAN_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/man \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
  make
  make install/strip DESTDIR=$PKG
cd ..
<<snip>>

It is helpful. When you run it, it will tell you it is showing only the cached values. I cant shake my feeling if the list is missing or not.

Can alway check the CMakeLists.txt file.
