Gmt-6.4.0 install error on Centos 7

Q&A
1

Hello all,

I am trying to build up and install gmt-6.4.0 on my Centos 7.

I installed the required dependencies but when try to built files as in the build manual by typing below command, I am having following error,

cmake --build .
ninja: error: loading ‘build.ninja’: No such file or directory

I have install ninja by yum install ninja-build but when try to build the files in “gmt-6.4.0/build” directory I am having “ninja: error: loading ‘build.ninja’: No such file or directory”

when type the “cmake --build . --target install” command, I am also having the same error “ninja: error: loading ‘build.ninja’: No such file or directory”

Does anybody receive this kind of error before? Does anyone has any suggestion to solve this issue?

best wishes,
-Metin

To build via Ninja you first need set set the generator: Here is why do before build:

cmake -G Ninja ..

Dear pwessel,

I did what you suggested before “cmake --build .” and tried “cmake --build .” again but I am having the same error.

In the mean time, when I try to install gmt with yum like “yum install gmt” it tries to install an older version gmt, is there a way to install newer version of gmt with yum in Centos?

I use ubuntu, so I don’t know about yum.

Dear all,

I installed gmt-6.4.0 by conda, this was pretty smooth. I will test my basic maps now,

best wishes,
