Linking seems to fail silently

[Matthias Mailänder]

Trying to compile it at https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:Mailaender:branches:X11:Pantheon/noise but it fails in the end. Not sure why.

Thanks for the report Matthias,

Noise builds fine with CMake 2.8 and older. Noise and many other elementary projects are not yet compliant with CMake 3.0. Most projects don't comply to this policy http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/policy/CMP0037.html#policy:CMP0037

The reason for this is that many of our projects are currently forcing a binary location that differs from the corresponding location in the source tree, for instance, the 'noise' executable is generated under 'build' instead of 'build/src'. We will have to fix our CMakeLists.txt files somewhere in the near future, but patches that expedite this process are welcome.

The reasons for the build failure can be found in the build log and are labeled as 'CMake Warning (dev) ...'.

Please note that you will need the development version of Granite (trunk at lp:granite) to build Noise's latest trunk.

Matthias, the cmake has been updated to generate the file in /build/src.

We're still using cmake 2.8 though.

Also note that noise is composed of many parts :
   - the main application
   - the core library
   - the plugins

I'm not sure that this issue is still relevant. Could you update us about it?

[Matthias Mailänder (mailaender)]

I currently can't build due to dependency problems and I don't see a new tagged release > 0.3.0 which I already tried.

[PerfectCarl (name-is-carl)]

Oh.
My message was about trunk.

(I know nothing about packaging. But I'm more knowledgeable about Noise - hopefully)

[Matthias Mailänder (mailaender)]

0.3.1 has been released and I have other compilation failures now.
