F.A.Q. ====== CMake Error: The source directory X does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- You have probably cloned without ``--recursive``. To remedy this you do not have to clone again, simply run:: $ git submodule update --init --recursive How do I know whether I need to run git submodule update after I pull or switch branches? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To see this run ``git status``. If you then see external modules which you haven't touched as modified, then you can update them using:: $ git submodule update --init --recursive Note that switching branches or pulling updates does not automatically update the submodules. I have some problem with gitlab.com. Is this my problem or a problem on gitlab.com side? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To see whether gitlab.com has some known issue, please check: - http://status.gitlab.com - https://twitter.com/gitlabstatus - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues Do I need to create a ssh keypair on each and every machine I want to use Dalton? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No. You do not need to authenticate via ssh. You can clone via https:: $ git clone https://gitlab.com/dalton/dalton.git It will ask you for your gitlab.com user and password. This is useful when you need to clone to a machine just once in a while (cluster) and where you don't do heavy development work.
