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:
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.
