Re: [Seqan-dev] CMake issue

[Rahn, René <Rene.Rahn@fu-berlin.de>]

Hi Nick,

we are not the maintainer of the Ubuntu package and it seems that SeqAn is shipped in an outdated version.

Apparently it seems, that the respective file FindSeqAn.cmake or seqan-config.cmake is not in the set of included files.

We can check if we can get the guys to update the version, which might solve the problem, but I guess this will take some time.

So I would recommend to install SeqAn from source, which is easy to do as well: http://seqan.readthedocs.io/en/master/Infrastructure/Use/Install.html#full-sources

Then when writing your CMake file you need to set

CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="path_to/seqan/util/cmake", and

SEQAN_INCLUDE_PATH="path_to/seqan/include"

before calling 

find_package(SeqAn).

Please let us know, if this helps.

Best regards,

René Rahn

Hi everybody,

I am trying to use SeqAn in a new project, and am running into issues with CMake.

I am running an up-to-date Ubuntu system and installed seqan like this

$sudo apt install seqan-dev

According to this (

http://seqan.readthedocs.io/en/master/Infrastructure/Use/Install.html#infra-use-install

) and this (

http://seqan.readthedocs.io/en/master/Infrastructure/Use/FindSeqAnCMake.html

)

the installation procedure should put a file called seqan-config.cmake  into a system path that CMake would find.

However, apparently no such file gets installed, and CMake produces an error message that I pasted into the bottom of this mail.

Is there an example anywhere of what the seqan-config.cmake needs to look like? I have tried various options but cannot get it to work. Where do these files go?

thanks Peter Nick R. 

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:33 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindSeqAn.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "SeqAn", but
  CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "SeqAn" with any of
  the following names:

    SeqAnConfig.cmake
    seqan-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "SeqAn" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "SeqAn_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "SeqAn"
  provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
  installed.
