如何从CentOS 6.5获得最新的cmake版本

Question

Is there a good way to install latest cmake version from CentOS 6.5?

I'm doing yum install cmake but it's giving me 2.6.4 from base repo which I don't want.

I tried installing cmake28 but the problem is that when I try to do ./configure it throws an error saying cmake is not available.

Answer 1

rpm -Uv ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/Application:/Geo/CentOS_6/x86_64/cmake-3.0.0-143.1.x86_64.rpm Hope this helps to somebody. If you have any problems with it let me know. Have fun.

I know this is an ancient question, but I got here by google searching and wanted to share what I knew so far.

when you sudo yum install cmake28 , you get a /usr/bin/cmake28 binary on your machine. You can setup a symlink to make your configure script work via the following:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/cmake28 /usr/bin/cmake

Not sure why the cmake28 package doesn't do this for you.

Well, after looking at the tutorial CMake gives on their website, it says download this and after that you have too type "./bootstrap" followed by "make" and "make install".

If you get any errors type "sudo" in front of all the said commands. If that doesn't work, your best bet would be too login to the root account by typing "su" and the root password following that.

If you already have cmake installed you should either follow the steps cmake offers on their website or try the command "sudo yum remove cmake".
