[MINC-development] compiling Display from github

[Jason Lerch]

Thanks Jordi and Vlad for the cmake tips! Onwards in my attempt to demonstrate my ignorance: tried to build minc from git master, and cmake produces the following:

<snip>
-- Looking for include file pwd.h - found
-- Found BISON: /usr/bin/bison (found version "2.5") 
-- Found FLEX: /usr/bin/flex (found version "2.5.35") 
CMake Error at progs/CMakeLists.txt:191 (INSTALL):
  install FILES given directory "/home/jason/git/minc/progs/minchistory" to
  install.


CMake Error at progs/CMakeLists.txt:196 (INSTALL):
  install PROGRAMS given directory "/home/jason/git/minc/progs/mincpik" to
  install.


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

(same error whether I type 'cmake CMakeLists.txt' or whether I add the -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX)

Is there an equivalent of config.log to see what it's trying to do? Does that error ring any bells?

Jason
