How to build cmake-gui on Linux from source?

rated 0 times [ 6] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 14813 / 2 Years ago, sun, november 13, 2022, 2:11:10

I tried downloading
https://cmake.org/files/v3.11/cmake-3.11.0.tar.gz
and building it, but there is no cmake-gui in ./bin subfolder after build. Is cmake-gui supplied in another source archive?

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
