CMake 错误：源目录“/home/name/Downloads”似乎不包含 CMakeLists.txt

Question

I want to install Gromacs, and I've followed the steps from this site until the part where it tells me to enter this command:

sudo cmake .. -DGMX_BUILD_OWN_FFTW=OFF -DREGRESSIONTEST_DOWNLOAD=OFF -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc -DREGRESSIONTEST_PATH= "PUT YOUR PWD PATH HERE WITHOUT QUOTES"/Downloads/regressiontests-5.1.1

Take note that I am in this directory:

name@myname:~/Downloads/gromacs-5.1.1/build$

and this is what I entered in the terminal:

sudo cmake .. -DGMX_BUILD_OWN_FFTW=OFF -DREGRESSIONTEST_DOWNLOAD=OFF -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc -DREGRESSIONTEST_PATH= /home/name/Downloads/regressiontests-5.1.1

but this error message appeared:

Please help!

Answer 1

You have a space between = and / here: -DREGRESSIONTEST_PATH= /home/name/Downloads/regressiontests-5.1.1 . Remove the space and it will work.

Answer 2

In addition to @thomas_f answer, Make sure you put the pwd directory pointing to your regressiontests containing folder and the regressiontests version is correct or compatible with your gromacs version. Now gromacs 5.1.1 build in ubuntu 14.x and WSL ubuntu can be simplified by following the guide in this BioInformatic-Review . I've successfully build gromacs 5.1.1 on WSL Ubuntu by following the guide.
