I am trying to build a local installation of Dolfin. The other packages I have in my local directory are dijitso, eigen, ffc, fiat, instant, ply, and ufl. Okay, then I proceeded to the dolfin directory, and typed
mkdir build
mkdir local
cd build
cmake $PWD/.. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PWD/../local
This gives the error
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:946 (message):
Generation of form files failed:
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
I looked in the CMakeLists.txt and noticed that it occurs when building demos, and specifically that no header files are generated for the demos. I have no idea why that would be though, and poked through the CMakeOutput.log file, but couldn't really make sense of what it meant.
