ninja error: dependency cycle

[utuhiro78]

I tried to install fcitx5-configtool-git, but it shows the error.

cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=/usr/lib -DKDE_INSTALL_USE_QT_SYS_PATHS=ON .
ninja
-- Configuring done
-- Generating done
-- Build files have been written to: fcitx5-configtool-master
ninja: error: dependency cycle: src/kcm/package/metadata.desktop -> src/kcm/package/metadata.desktop

fcitx5-configtool-5.0.1 doesn't show the error.

I posted the same comment to #35 (comment)

I'm actually aware of that. please use -G"Unix Makefiles" instead.

[utuhiro78]

It shows another error.

cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=/usr/lib -DKDE_INSTALL_USE_QT_SYS_PATHS=ON .
make -j4

I copied cmake options from Arch Linux PKGBUILD.

you need to do the out source build.

mkdir build
cd build
cmake [....] ..
make

[wengxt]

also you, probably need to clean up all the existing cmake files.

[utuhiro78]

Thanks! It works fine. And I found a mistranslation. :-)

mkdir build
cd build/
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=/usr/lib -DKDE_INSTALL_USE_QT_SYS_PATHS=ON ..
make -j4
sudo make install

I fixed translation. "Restore &Defaults" doesn't mean "Restore and Defaults".
Wengxt, Thank you so much!
