Hi Sonika, cmake needs a specification of the path where the source code is. In addition to that, it is best to build it in a separate directory. As explained on the website, in your gromacs directory:
mkdir build cd build cmake ../ make make install Hope it helps, Tsjerk On Tue, Jul 2, 2013 at 8:51 PM, Sonika Gahlawat <sonika.gahla...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I am trying to install Gromacs on OS X and following the installation > guide, in section 4.1, I get an output shown as follows: > Sonikas-MacBook-Pro:Downloads sonikagahlawat$ cd gromacs-4.6.2 > Sonikas-MacBook-Pro:gromacs-4.6.2 sonikagahlawat$ cmake > cmake version 2.8.11.1 > Usage > > cmake [options] <path-to-source> > cmake [options] <path-to-existing-build> > > Options > -C <initial-cache> = Pre-load a script to populate the cache. > -D <var>:<type>=<value> = Create a cmake cache entry. > -U <globbing_expr> = Remove matching entries from CMake cache. > -G <generator-name> = Specify a makefile generator. > -T <toolset-name> = Specify toolset name if supported by > generator. > -Wno-dev = Suppress developer warnings. > -Wdev = Enable developer warnings. > -E = CMake command mode. > -i = Run in wizard mode. > -L[A][H] = List non-advanced cached variables. > --build <dir> = Build a CMake-generated project binary > tree. > -N = View mode only. > -P <file> = Process script mode. > --find-package = Run in pkg-config like mode. > --graphviz=[file] = Generate graphviz of dependencies. > --system-information [file] = Dump information about this system. > --debug-trycompile = Do not delete the try_compile build tree. > Only useful on one try_compile at a time. > --debug-output = Put cmake in a debug mode. > --trace = Put cmake in trace mode. > --warn-uninitialized = Warn about uninitialized values. > --warn-unused-vars = Warn about unused variables. > --no-warn-unused-cli = Don't warn about command line options. > --check-system-vars = Find problems with variable usage in system > files. > --help-command cmd [file] = Print help for a single command and exit. > --help-command-list [file] = List available listfile commands and exit. > --help-commands [file] = Print help for all commands and exit. > --help-compatcommands [file]= Print help for compatibility commands. > --help-module module [file] = Print help for a single module and exit. > --help-module-list [file] = List available modules and exit. > --help-modules [file] = Print help for all modules and exit. > --help-custom-modules [file]= Print help for all custom modules and exit. > --help-policy cmp [file] = Print help for a single policy and exit. > --help-policies [file] = Print help for all policies and exit. > --help-property prop [file] = Print help for a single property and exit. > --help-property-list [file] = List available properties and exit. > --help-properties [file] = Print help for all properties and exit. > --help-variable var [file] = Print help for a single variable and exit. > --help-variable-list [file] = List documented variables and exit. > --help-variables [file] = Print help for all variables and exit. > --copyright [file] = Print the CMake copyright and exit. > --help,-help,-usage,-h,-H,/?= Print usage information and exit. > --help-full [file] = Print full help and exit. > --help-html [file] = Print full help in HTML format. > --help-man [file] = Print full help as a UNIX man page and > exit. > --version,-version,/V [file]= Show program name/version banner and exit. > > Generators > > The following generators are available on this platform: > Unix Makefiles = Generates standard UNIX makefiles. > Ninja = Generates build.ninja files (experimental). > Xcode = Generate Xcode project files. > CodeBlocks -
