How did you cmake?

You should have the Server source in one dir and build in another.
ie: /home/user/server & /home/user/build, then you go in to the build dir and cmake ../server -DPREFIX=/home/user/build

Then everything will cmake in build and you can compile

Another note, don't cmake or compile as root. Just use root to install your dependencies. Compile + Run your server as a user

well, we do have the sources in: root/Source then the build is in root/build/server where the bin and etc folders are, this is what i ran: root@server:~/Source# cmake ../server -DPREFIX=/root/build/test

but it still gives this error:

CMake Error at cmake/platform/unix/settings.cmake:22 (configure_file):
configure_file attempted to configure a file:
/root/Source/cmake_uninstall.cmake into a source directory.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
cmake/macros/CheckPlatform.cmake:15 (include)
CMakeLists.txt:48 (include)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!


I have no clue why that happends

Like I said, stop trying to cmake and compile as root.

You also need to be in the BUILD directory when you run the cmake command. "../server" is not your source.

Go in the Build dir, cmake ../Source -DPREFIX=/whatever

But stop doing it as root.

Even if i am doing that inside here where i got the build files:

and i run that command you say, i still get that error. Could you help me out through skype, teamviewer whatever.. been trying to get this fixed for a week now :/

First off running as root (root@server) is not recommended, this has been mentioned already.

secondly; you have no "build" folder inside your source directory. Try heading over to http://collab.kpsn.org/display/tc/How-to_Linux goto the "Compiling the source code" section and follow the instructions.

^ This is what ive been saying but it seems like they keep trying to run cmake while IN the source directory, which won't work.
