Change the "cmake" command in your SlackBuild to + /opt/cmake-202x/bin/cmake. In context, it will look like: + + mkdir -p build + cd build + export "PATH=/opt/cmake-202x/bin:$PATH" + cmake \ + -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING="$SLKCFLAGS" \ + -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING="$SLKCFLAGS" \ + ...etc, etc. + +2. Add cmake-202x to the REQUIRES in your .info file. + +That's it. Your SlackBuild shouldn't need any other changes. If you +want to look at a complete SlackBuild script that uses cmake-202x, +see academic/bibletime. + +Note: If you're using cmake interactively (developing software outside +the context of SlackBuild scripts), there are a couple of things you +might want to add to your .bash_profile to make things smoother: + + export PATH=/opt/cmake-202x/bin:$PATH + export MANPATH=/opt/cmake-202x/man:$MANPATH + +Then when you type "cmake", you'll get the new version. Also "man +cmake" will show the man page for the new version. You *don't* need +this stuff in a SlackBuild script! |
