I downloaded the latest cmake(v3.11) source I am trying to build by running ./configure or ./boostrap but it gets stuck all the time at

-- Looking for a Fortran compiler
-- Looking for a Fortran compiler - /usr/bin/f95

I even tried with an earlier version but the same issue occurred. The problem is, I have to build a library from source, it is configured to attempt to download and build cmake, and of course, the library building process gets stuck too.

  • I'm confused. If you downloaded a binary cmake package, what are you building? if you are building something else that uses cmake, why is ./configure involved (since that's typically part of the automake build system)?

    Maybe if cmake was already present on your system (sudo apt install cmake) it would not try to download and build it?

    @T.Obadiah Can you give a link to the library you are trying to build?

    Do you have a FORTRAN compiler installed? ie which f95 (unlikely) or which gfortran (common). Cross-site related: stackoverflow.com/questions/49852420/…
