cmake Ninja problem with Spotify minimal distribution

[Czarek]

I'm having trouble running cmake with the "cef_binary_3.2704.1432.g60b3718_linux64_minimal" distro - some Ninja error, see below. (Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit)

Code: Select all

czarek@ubuntu1404:~/cef_binary/build$ cmake --version
cmake version 2.8.12.2
czarek@ubuntu1404:~$ ninja --version
1.7.1
czarek@ubuntu1404:~$ cd cef_binary/build/
czarek@ubuntu1404:~/cef_binary/build$ cmake -G "Ninja" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "Ninja".  CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set.  You probably need to select a different build tool.

Looks like a problem with your cmake installation. Try uninstalling the package and then building cmake from source code.

Also, note that the minimal distribution does not include source code for the sample applications so running cmake with it directly will fail.

The issue was that cmake requires read permissions on the ninja executable. I've had 751 permissions on it, so had to chmod 755.
