cmake plugin doesn't work properly

[Giorgio]

Hi, I'm trying to compile a part for my application but I can't because the cmake plugin doesn't work properly.

I'll show you why:

parts:
  application:
    plugin: cmake
    source: .

output:

Failed to run 'cmake /root/build_libvlc/parts/application/src -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=' for 'application': Exited with code 1.
Verify that the part is using the correct parameters and try again.

parts:
  application:
    plugin: cmake
    configflags:
      - -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/anydirectory
    source: .

output:

Failed to run 'cmake /root/build_app/parts/application/src -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/anydirectory' for 'application': Exited with code 1.
Verify that the part is using the correct parameters and try again.

As you can see in the second case "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=" clause is there twice.

How come?

Thank you :)

"Failed to run 'cmake /root/build_libvlc/parts/application/src -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=' for 'application': Exited with code 1" is a symptom, not an error in and of itself. It's saying cmake is bailing, so it bails. Above that, you should see an actual error from cmake. Can you paste that in here, please?
