cmake-gui is not included in the port - we need to add it

[mouse07410 (Mouse)]

It looks like Eclipse requires cmake-gui for CMake-based projects. It also looks like the current Macports port of CMake does not build/include this executable.

Therefore I'd like to request that the CMake port builds and installs cmake-gui in addition to what it already does.

Thanks!

Does the gui variant not work?

$ port variants cmake
cmake has the variants:
...
   gui: Build Qt-based cmake-gui
...

The CMake GUI is available via variants. You select +qt4 or +qt5. This is an OS X application that's called "cmake-gui". Is that what the you're looking for?

My fault - did not pay attention. Re-installing as we speak {{ port install cmake +docs +gui +qt5 }}}

Probably. I need an executable that Eclipse can invoke. The Eclipse project config has a button "Start CMake GUI" that tries to invoke "cmake-gui" and expects to find it on a searchable path. So presumably "cmake-gui" is exactly what I can feed there.

Thanks! (I guess I should close this ticket, as a little misguided submission :) )

Thanks for the prompt reply. I'll go ahead and close it. Good luck!
