Hi,

I am using CMake 3.12.4 to build eman2 from source (I also tested with CMake 3.14.4 and got the same error) and got the following error:

 CMake Error at /cluster/apps/gcc-4.8.5/cmake-3.14.4-2yckzriatk5ei7cuqncwz5il26gb63oz/share/cmake-3.14/Modules/FindFreetype.cmake:178
 (set_property):
   set_property can not be used on an ALIAS target.
 Call Stack (most recent call first):
   cmake/Freetype.cmake:1 (find_package)
   cmake/FindFTGL.cmake:27 (include)
   libEM/CMakeLists.txt:180 (find_package)

Is this a known problem ?

What version of CMake do you recommend to build eman2 ?

Any help is appreciated.

The minimum version of cmake to build eman2 is 3.9, but it should work with higher versions, too. Which branch is the source from?

I use the release tarball

I have tried a few versions of cmake, 3.14.0, 3.14.5, 3.12.2 and 3.9.4, with the tarball, but can't reproduce this.

Hi,

Maybe this is due to building the dependencies manually and not with Conda.

When I empty the build directory of EMAN2 and use ccmake to set the variables

ccmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE="-O3 -DNDEBUG -ftree-vectorize -march=core-avx2 -mavx2" -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/cluster/apps/python/2.7.14/bin/python -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/cluster/apps/eman2/2.3/x86_64 -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON -DENABLE_EMAN_CUDA=ON -DENABLE_OPTIMIZE_X86_64=ON -DFFTW3D_INCLUDE_PATH=/cluster/apps/gcc-4.8.5/fftw-3.3.5-xqwrft73uae7gismovk2xugrzrzjw2oz/include -DFFTW3D_THREADS_INCLUDE_PATH=/cluster/apps/gcc-4.8.5/fftw-3.3.5-xqwrft73uae7gismovk2xugrzrzjw2oz/include -DFFTW3F_INCLUDE_PATH=/cluster/apps/gcc-4.8.5/fftw-3.3.5-xqwrft73uae7gismovk2xugrzrzjw2oz/include -DFFTW3F_THREADS_INCLUDE_PATH=/cluster/apps/gcc-4.8.5/fftw-3.3.5-xqwrft73uae7gismovk2xugrzrzjw2oz/include -DFTGL_INCLUDE_PATH=/cluster/apps/ftgl/2.1.3/x86_64/include -DZLIB_LIBRARY_RELEASE=/cluster/apps/gcc-4.8.5/zlib-1.2.11-bq2w5h6vcd64cmfueygcbug4fksi4eb4/include/lib/libz.so -DPNG_LIBRARY_RELEASE=/cluster/apps/gcc-4.8.5/libpng-1.6.27-d6quyddan2eotsexesxufytusf27xxgz/lib/libpng.so -DGSL_ROOT_DIR=/cluster/apps/gcc-4.8.5/gsl-2.3-xwny6fotw5xcpchcbhl4oyughsocriam -Dpkgcfg_lib_GSL_gsl=/cluster/apps/gcc-4.8.5/gsl-2.3-xwny6fotw5xcpchcbhl4oyughsocriam/lib/libgsl.so -DFTGL_LIBRARY=/cluster/apps/ftgl/2.1.3/x86_64/lib/libftgl.so -DCUDA_VERBOSE_BUILD=ON -DHDF5_INCLUDE_PATH=/cluster/apps/gcc-4.8.5/hdf5-1.10.1-v5tokcw5ende26jt6iufdt25yspgjzw2/include -DFREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR=/cluster/apps/gcc-4.8.5/freetype-2.7-mhhi2pufcglnyisabx7ha4ylcuyqmf3u/include ..

Then I configure twice by typing "c" in the CMake gui and get the following output:

I guess you can't provide any support since building EMAN2 without using Conda is not supported any more, but I would like to document this issues for other people also trying to build EMAN2 without Conda.

I will provide an update if I can resolve this problem

Best regards

Hi Steven,

Thank you for your reply.

Now after installing all dependencies without Conda (for instance installing PyQT5 for Python 2.7.14) I start to get a better understanding why you switched to Conda. As I am quite experienced setting up software on a HPC cluster, I wanted to take the challenge getting EMAN2 installed without using Conda (which worked quite well for all dependencies). Also because I am always trying to use already installed software instead of making redundant installations. Especially for OpenMPI I prefer to use the version that we installed, because it was compiled with support for our batch system (LSF).

Thank you for the hint of looking at an older version of CMakeLists.txt.

Currently, the modification that I did was replacing

# Set EMAN_PREFIX
if("$ENV{CONDA_BUILD_STATE}" STREQUAL "BUILD" )
        message("ENV{CONDA_BUILD_STATE}: $ENV{CONDA_BUILD_STATE}")
        if(NOT WIN32)
                set(EMAN_PREFIX $ENV{PREFIX})
        else()
                set(EMAN_PREFIX $ENV{LIBRARY_PREFIX})
        endif()
else()
        find_package(Conda REQUIRED)

        if(CONDA_PREFIX)
                if(NOT WIN32)
                        set(EMAN_PREFIX ${CONDA_PREFIX})
                else()
                        set(EMAN_PREFIX ${CONDA_PREFIX}/Library)
                endif()
        endif()
endif()

set(EMAN_PREFIX_INC      ${EMAN_PREFIX}/include)
set(EMAN_PREFIX_LIB      ${EMAN_PREFIX}/lib)
set(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX ${EMAN_PREFIX} CACHE PATH "installation prefix" FORCE)
set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH    ${EMAN_PREFIX} ${EMAN_PREFIX}/..)
message_var(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH)

with

set(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX "/cluster/apps/eman2/2.3/x86_64")
set(EMAN_PREFIX          ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX})
set(EMAN_PREFIX_INC      ${EMAN_PREFIX}/include)
set(EMAN_PREFIX_LIB      ${EMAN_PREFIX}/lib)
set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH    ${EMAN_PREFIX} ${EMAN_PREFIX}/..)
message_var(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH)

I will have a look at an older CMakeLists.txt file and try to resolve the issue. If I can't find a solution until the end of this week, then I will go with the Conda setup.

Thank you for your help.

Best regards

Sam

If you specify the necessary variables to point to the right libraries and include directories, you shouldn't need conda related stuff in cmake. I don't think the problem you are seeing is conda related. Looks like with cmake 3.10, findFreetype defines imported targets which are not supposed to be modified. I am not sure why I am not seeing the same errors when I use newer cmake versions, but I believe, your problem can be fixed by just removing the whole if-block setting the Freetype target,

eman2/cmake/Freetype.cmake

Lines 6 to 14 in 6aaac88

if(Freetype_FOUND AND NOT TARGET Freetype)
add_library(Freetype INTERFACE)
add_library(Freetype::Freetype ALIAS Freetype)
set_target_properties(Freetype
PROPERTIES
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES "${FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIRS}"
INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES "${FREETYPE_LIBRARIES}"
)
endif()
. So, Freetype.cmake becomes

find_package(Freetype REQUIRED)

message("FREETYPE_LIBRARIES:    ${FREETYPE_LIBRARIES}")
message("FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIRS: ${FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIRS}")

I don't know, if other targets will cause similar problems after fixing this.

Hope this helps.

Or, if you can, use cmake 3.9, maybe.

I could fix the issue.
