[HEADS UP] CMake Error: No source or binary directory provided

[Vít Ondruch]

Hi,

It seems that since CMake 3.13, it is required to invoke the cmake
command explicitly with path to source, which was not required
previously. IOW in F29 was enough to call:


~~~

$ cmake

~~~


while F30+ requires:


~~~

$ cmake .

~~~


Unfortunately, neither upstream nor Fedora packagers perceives this
issue worth noting [1], although just during Ruby mass rebuild, I met
already quite some failing packages due to this issue.

The most naive grep identifies at least 23 packages:

~~~

$ grep -R -e '^%cmake$' | wc -l
23

~~~

Actually, it seems this error was relaxed to warning in 3.13.4, which is
in Rawhide since yesterday:

Ah, I wondered what that message meant!

I saw it for at least:

LuxRender
condor
leatherman
libapogee
librime
