[gmx-developers] v4.6.3: cmake-stage error at CMakeLists.txt:102

[Nikolay Alemasov]

Greetings,

     I am trying to compile the source code v.4.6.3 with cmake. The 
shell script is (ran from the "build" directory inside gromacs source 
root dir):

> CC=/ifs/opt/2013/intel/bin/icc
> CXX=/ifs/opt/2013/intel/bin/icpc
> CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/ifs/home/bionet/alemasov/libraries/fftw"
>
> cmake .. \
> -DGMX_GPU=OFF \
> -DGMX_CPU_ACCELERATION=SSE2 \
> -DFFTWF_LIBRARY='/ifs/home/bionet/alemasov/libraries/fftw/lib/libfftw3f.so' 
> \
> -DFFTWF_INCLUDE_DIR='/ifs/home/bionet/alemasov/libraries/fftw/include' \
> -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX='/ifs/home/bionet/alemasov/libraries/gromacs'

And get a message (successful part was cut):
...

Below is a content of the src/gmxlib/CMakeLists.txt:99-105:
> 99 : # Files called xxx_test.c are test drivers with a main() function 
> for module xxx.c,
> 100: # so they should not be included in the library
> 101: file(GLOB_RECURSE NOT_GMXLIB_SOURCES *_test.c *\#*)
> 102: list(REMOVE_ITEM GMXLIB_SOURCES ${NOT_GMXLIB_SOURCES})
> 103: # Selection has test_ instead of _test.
> 104: file(GLOB SELECTION_TEST selection/test*)
> 105: list(REMOVE_ITEM GMXLIB_SOURCES ${SELECTION_TEST})

The target system:

> Linux nks-g6.sscc.ru 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Tue Aug 18 15:51:48 EDT 
> 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
> Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)
> model name    : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           X5560  @ 2.80GHz

Please help me to sort out the issue. In fact my primary aim was to 
build GPU-version of the GROMACS, but I can not do it even for the 
simplest variant.
