Older cmake does not support continue() [message #1833582]

Hi,

I downloaded the latest forte 1.13.0. When I go to build I get the following message displayed.

CMake Error at buildsupport/generate_modules_cmake_file.cmake:21 (continue):
Unknown CMake command "continue".
Call Stack (most recent call first):
buildsupport/forte.cmake:248 (INCLUDE)
src/CMakeLists.txt:17 (forte_create_modules_file)

This is the version of cmake:
$ cmake --version
cmake version 2.8.12.2

I'm just wondering, is there any plan to support older versions of cmake?

Hi,

currently we don't have the resource to test and maintain a broad range of CMake versions. During the development of 1.13 we noticed that there are already differences between the 3.x versions that where available on the development machiens and build servers we used. 2.8 is definitly out of scope of our capacity.

But we are happy if you can provide patches for fixing that issues also for a broader range of Cmake versions.

Cheers,
Alois

Hi,

Please find attached a patch file which resolved this issue for us in cmake version 2.8.12.2. The workaround was to restructure the logic and to add functions for the common processing so that continue() isn't needed.

I realise you might not want the comments in there and you might like to change function names to better align with 4DIAC naming convention. Would you like me to start a ticket and add this patch file to the ticket?

I'm happy to help if I can, please let me know.

Thank you

Hi,

thanks a lot for the patch. The Eclipse Foundation has a very nice process in place on how contributors can add fixes and features to Eclipse Projects. Jose was so kind and documented this very nicely here [2]. Can you please have a look and if there are any questions we are happy to support you.

BR,
Alois
