The build instructions are out of date #114
Description
Hello,
I am trying to build https://github.com/OpenCMISS/iron.
Its README points to these build instructions - https://github.com/OpenCMISS/manage/raw/v1.0/OpenCMISSBuildEnvironment.docx.pdf
(The below is valid also for http://opencmiss.org/documentation/cmake/docs/build/index.html > Build on Linux)
To build on Linux the steps are:
Building on Linux
Default steps for Users (terminal/command line):
1. Create the OPENCMISS_ROOT folder somewhere and enter it
2. Clone the setup git repo into that folder via
git clone https://github.com/OpenCMISS/manage
or
Fetch and extract the zipped sources there and extract them into the
OPENCMISS_ROOT/manage folder.
3. Enter the OPENCMISS_ROOT/manage/build folder
4. Type “cmake ..”
...
My first confusion is: Why the document explains how to build manage project instead of iron ?! Is manage v2 of iron ?
Second question: The instructions say "Enter manage/build folder" but there is no such folder (https://github.com/OpenCMISS/manage/tree/develop/build -> error 404). Maybe the documentation should say "create manage/build folder and navigate to it" ?!
Anyway, following the steps leads to this error:
.../manage/build$ cmake ..

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:104 (message):
'/home/martin/git/install/share/cmake/Modules/OpenCMISS/OCArchitecturePathFunctions.cmake'
does not exist. The OpenCMISS CMake modules may not be
installed/available.
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/home/martin/git/iron/manage/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
And indeed OCArchitecturePathFunctions.cmake is not available at that location. I'd pass -DOPENCMISS_ROOT=... but I cannot find OCArchitecturePathFunctions.cmake neither in manage project, nor in iron, zinc or setup projects.
Any hints what should be the correct build steps ?
Thank you!
