Problem installing

Development

When I do "sudo make install" I'm getting these errors (from the master branch in git with --enable-cluster)...

CMake Warning at aux/broccoli/cmake_install.cmake:33 (message):

file INSTALL cannot find
"/Users/seth/bro/bro.git/build/aux/broctl/BroControl".

At "make install" time, this is basically what should happen:

1) cp BroControl \{CURRENT\_BINARY\_DIR\}/BroControl 2\) compile Python sources in {CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/BroControl
3) install ${CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/BroControl

But it looks like it skipped straight to #3 and I don't understand why. Does that directory really not exist? I wasn't able to reproduce this error; can you give explicit steps/commands w/ CMake version and operating system?

As I was going through documenting everything you asked for, I found the problem. I installed the binary copy of cmake for MacOS X and it's installed in the Applications directory with a symlink to /usr/bin/.

/Applications/CMake 2.8-2.app/Contents/bin/cmake

The space in the path makes things not work so well. :slight_smile:

Ah ok, that makes sense to me now. At "make install" time I made the copy of the BroControl directory with `\{CMAKE\_COMMAND\} \-E copy\_directory\` instead of \`cp\` because I thought that would be the more 'portable' way to do things, but it seems I need to add some quotes around {CMAKE_COMMAND} so that spaces in the path get escaped.

I'll fix it on fastpath.

I never would have expected to encounter spaces there either. :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks!

I'll merge in it, but for the future, please create new branches
when doing such changes across all (or many) of the repositories.
That makes merging easier as then I don't need to pay attention what
else is already in fastpath but not yet merged.
