There are too equivalent variables for Ryzom :

• RYZOM_ETC_PREFIX for client_default.cfg
• RYZOM_SHARE_PREFIX for Ryzom command line patcher translations
• RYZOM_SBIN_PREFIX is not used
• RYZOM_BIN_PREFIX for Ryzom tools
• RYZOM_GAMES_PREFIX for Ryzom client

To create Ubuntu/Debian Ryzom Core packages I use :

cmake ../code -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DNL_ETC_PREFIX=/etc/nel -DNL_DRIVER_PREFIX=/usr/lib/nel -DRYZOM_ETC_PREFIX=/etc/ryzom -DRYZOM_SHARE_PREFIX=/usr/share/games/ryzom -DRYZOM_BIN_PREFIX=/usr/games -DWITH_RYZOM_SERVER=OFF -DWITH_NEL_TESTS=OFF -DWITH_LIBWWW_STATIC=ON

If you want to package NeL and Ryzom separately, you shouldn't use -DWITH_STATIC=ON because under Linux all libraries are shared by default. Ryzom servers, Ryzom tools, Ryzom client with use the same NeL libraries and if you compile them in static your binaries will be bigger than in dynamic.

To create an unique Ryzom client package without shared libraries, I use :

cmake ../code -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DRYZOM_ETC_PREFIX=/opt/ryzom -DRYZOM_SHARE_PREFIX=/opt/ryzom -DRYZOM_BIN_PREFIX=/opt/ryzom -DRYZOM_GAMES_PREFIX=/opt/ryzom -DWITH_RYZOM_SERVER=OFF -DWITH_NEL_TESTS=OFF -DWITH_NEL_TOOLS=OFF -DWITH_NEL_SAMPLES=OFF -DWITH_RYZOM_TOOLS=OFF -DWITH_LIBWWW_STATIC=ON -DWITH_STATIC=ON -DWITH_STATIC_DRIVERS=ON -DWITH_INSTALL_LIBRARIES=OFF

Well, I got a problem regarding to the NL*_PREFIX (and RYZOM_*_PREFIX too)variables and it is driving me crazy, this is what I see on CMakeCache.txt:

NL_BIN_PREFIX:PATH=//bin
NL_LIB_PREFIX:PATH=//lib
NL_SBIN_PREFIX:PATH=//sbin
NL_SHARE_PREFIX:PATH=//share/nel
[...]
RYZOM_GAMES_PREFIX:PATH=//games
RYZOM_PREFIX:PATH=/
RYZOM_SBIN_PREFIX:PATH=//sbin

I used this command and options cmake -DWITH_RYZOM=OFF -DWITH_NEL_TESTS=OFF -DWITH_NEL=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/" -DNL_ETC_PREFIX=/etc/nel -DNL_DRIVER_PREFIX=/usr/lib/nel -DRYZOM_ETC_PREFIX=/etc/ryzom -DRYZOM_SHARE_PREFIX=/usr/share/ryzom -DRYZOM_BIN_PREFIX=/usr/bin ..

A dirty hack was use sed before make -j3. But I dont like that :(

Why don't you use -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ?

Edit: I just noticed I forgot to add this to my cmake commands, that's because debhelper automatically set it :) Sorry !

glolfail... Ok, I'll take a closer look to CMakeCache.txt and change what I dont like with sed command, I don't have another option... DIRTY HACKS!! :D

Please why don't you explain your problem ?

Changing manually CMakeCache.txt is a really bad way to fix something. If you can fix what you want using CMake options on command line, you should use them, else ask and explain what you're doing, we'll be able to help you.

I'm setting the package script for the packaging application on Parabola.
Fist, cmake was concatenating the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX with the others Cmake's PREFIX variables leading to weird installation paths (like /usr/etc/nel/ instead of /etc/nel). But I fix that setting CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to empty string ("") and changing the rest of the prefixes. No dirty hacks was required :D

But, during packaging time I got an error from cmake

jorge@Abril:~/coders/PKGBUILDs/ryzom/ryzom-split$ 

Which is very annoying and frustrating because is like cmake were omitting the ".." stuff and searching for the code in the actual directory.
I tried changing the path to where the code is (/home/jorge/coders/PKGBUILDs/ryzom/ryzom-split/src/ryzom/code/) but the same error is shown, CMake can be really annoying...

there is the relevant part of the packaging script:

  cd "$srcdir/$_hgrepo/code/ryzom-nel" 

  cmake -Wno-dev \
        -DWITH_RYZOM=OFF \
        -DWITH_NEL_TESTS=OFF \
        -DWITH_NEL=ON \ 
        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="$pkgdir" \ 
        -DNL_ETC_PREFIX=/etc/nel \
        -DNL_DRIVER_PREFIX=/usr/lib/nel \ 
        -DNL_SHARE_PREFIX=/usr/share/nel \ 
        -DNL_BIN_PREFIX=/usr/bin \ 
        -DNL_SBIN_PREFIX=/usr/sbin \
        -DNL_LIB_PREFIX=/usr/lib/nel \ 
        -DNL_DRIVER_PREFIX=/usr/lib/nel
        -DRYZOM_ETC_PREFIX=/etc/ryzom \
        -DRYZOM_SHARE_PREFIX=/usr/share/ryzom \ 
        -DRYZOM_BIN_PREFIX=/usr/bin ..

any help with this, Kervala?

As I said previously, thay's very easy !

Did you already package something for your distro ?

Under Debian/Ubuntu, the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX must be the final prefix once installed (= /usr), the temporary directory where all files are copied for generating the package is managed by Debian tools because Debian tools (debhelper) supports automake, cmake, bjam, etc... so when it sees CMake it uses automatically the right directories.

In your case, if you don't have any Gentoo tool who support CMake ( as http://devmanual.gentoo.org/eclass-reference/cmake-utils.eclass/index.html ), you'll have to use :

make install DESTDIR=<absolute path to where you want to create your package>

So instead of

cd "$srcdir/$_hgrepo/code/ryzom-nel" 

  cmake -Wno-dev \
        -DWITH_RYZOM=OFF \
        -DWITH_NEL_TESTS=OFF \
        -DWITH_NEL=ON \ 
        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="$pkgdir" \ 
        -DNL_ETC_PREFIX=/etc/nel \
        -DNL_DRIVER_PREFIX=/usr/lib/nel \ 
        -DNL_SHARE_PREFIX=/usr/share/nel \ 
        -DNL_BIN_PREFIX=/usr/bin \ 
        -DNL_SBIN_PREFIX=/usr/sbin \
        -DNL_LIB_PREFIX=/usr/lib/nel \ 
        -DNL_DRIVER_PREFIX=/usr/lib/nel
        -DRYZOM_ETC_PREFIX=/etc/ryzom \
        -DRYZOM_SHARE_PREFIX=/usr/share/ryzom \ 
        -DRYZOM_BIN_PREFIX=/usr/bin ..

just use :

cd "$srcdir/$_hgrepo/code/ryzom-nel" 

  cmake -Wno-dev \
        -DWITH_RYZOM=OFF \
        -DWITH_NEL_TESTS=OFF \
        -DWITH_NEL=ON \ 
        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \ 
        -DNL_ETC_PREFIX=/etc/nel \
        -DRYZOM_ETC_PREFIX=/etc/ryzom \
        ..

  make
  make DESTDIR=/home/login/packages/ryzom

Finally I don't know Gentoo packaging, so I can't help you on this, I think your problems don't come from CMake or Ryzom Core but from Gentoo packaging and you should see with Gentoo packagers if they can help you.

WTF!? I'm not packaging for Gentoo! D:
I'm packaging for Parabola!! Gentoo's wiki for packaging isn't helping me at all.-

DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX must be $pkgdir, this is a rule for Parabola packaging and isn't optional.
I'll consult this on IRC!

chao! :)

Sorry, I confounded Arch and Gentoo :(

CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX must be set to $pkgdir or files must be installed/copied to $pkgdir ?

That's not the same thing :)

Edit: In this case, use : make DESTDIR=$pkgdir

Well, we already discuss that on IRC :).
The question is: May I have to report this as a bug? Because Blender uses cmake and it builds quite well on Parabola/Arch. You either should take a look at CMake instructions for Blender, Kervala!

Please did you try to create a package for Blender with their script ? Perhaps will you got the same error message.

Are you sure it's a bug ? You don't even know if it's related to CMake, Ryzom or your script :)

That's not CMake that return the error message, but your script saying a directory doesn't exist.

I suspect your problem is related to the fact Ryzom Core has a "code" directory before CMakeLists.txt.

I dont think so, we have in Parabola Blender-libre package ( https://projects.parabolagnulinux.org/abslibre.git/tree/libre/blender-libre/PKGBUILD ) which is a Blender package without proprietary dependencies build by Emulatorman and he haven't any issue. That means, our tools and the Blender cmakes rules are ok.

Well, CMake works with blender-libre as I explained before, the rules on my PKGBUILD looks like the ones on the blender-libre PKGBUILD, therefore the bug have to be in the Ryzom's cmake instructions. As we said in Costa Rica "_Si no es gallo, debe ser gallina_".

That's not CMake that return the error message, but your script saying a directory doesn't exist.

Indeed, well, actually is the tools for packaging which are throwing the message, and the tools runs cmake, so, cmake is the one complaining about the source directory.

I suspect your problem is related to the fact Ryzom Core has a "code" directory before CMakeLists.txt.

Dunno, I didn't write the cmake rules xD. That's why you are our only hope to distribute Ryzom for Parabola, Kervala!

This is solved!
the problem was the "\" characters for break the cmake command, when I remove them, the problem just disappeared! :O
I have other issues to think about for now xd
