How to build cmake-gui on Linux from source?
Two options here:
cmake-gui
is packaged as cmake-qt-gui. Install it with:sudo apt-get install cmake-qt-gui
If you really need to build it from source do the following:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get build-dep cmake-qt-gui wget https://cmake.org/files/v3.11/cmake-3.11.0.tar.gz tar -xzf cmake-3.11.0.tar.gz cd cmake-3.11.0/ ./configure --qt-gui make -j5 bin/cmake-gui
Nothing else depends on cmake (probably) so it's a leaf node. Uninstall the deb. Get the latest source from https://cmake.org/ and unpack the tarball somewhere, cd into it.
./bootstrap --qt-gui
make
make install
Assuming you have the QT dev stuff installed. You end up with both regular command-line cmake and cmake-qui. Start them from the command line by typing cmake or cmake-gui, I don't know about adding to menus.
