install TARGETS given no ARCHIVE DESTINATION for static library target CSF

[TheAdamP]

Hey might be a stupid question but trying to build on Linux gives me this error:
CMake Error at src/CMakeLists.txt:31 (install):
install TARGETS given no ARCHIVE DESTINATION for static library target "CSF".

Have I missed an obvious step in the installation? I just downloaded file made a build directory then tried to cmake.

Need some more info, what was the exact cmake command you ran?

[TheAdamP]

So I put the master folder into my build file and followed the install guide. Specifically I ran cmake CSF-master and cmake CSF-master/src whilst inside the build folder and neither worked

It sounds like you downloaded the zip file of the repo instead of git clone command? Either way it should work fine.
I am on Ubuntu and just pulled down a copy. Here is what works for me with some notes added. Try these

#download and unzipped from https://github.com/jianboqi/CSF/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
#show what's in the top level directory
~/Downloads$ cd CSF-master/ && ls
CMakeLists.txt  CSFDemo  LICENSE.txt  matlab  python  README.md  src

#let's do an out-of-tree build to keep build files separate
~/Downloads/CSF-master$ mkdir build
~/Downloads/CSF-master$ cd build

#call cmake with default settings, note the double period since we are in CSF-master/build and the CMake files are in CSF-master
~/Downloads/CSF-master/build$ cmake ..

Hi so I tried this exactly as followed and got the similar error:

adam@adam-Blade-Stealth:~/Downloads$ cd CSF-master
adam@adam-Blade-Stealth:~/Downloads/CSF-master$ mkdir build
adam@adam-Blade-Stealth:~/Downloads/CSF-master$ cd build
adam@adam-Blade-Stealth:~/Downloads/CSF-master/build$ cmake ..

I followed the steps exactly so a little unsure of whats going on, sorry I am fairly new to cmake in general. Here as well you can see everything is in place : :~/Downloads/CSF-master$ ls build CMakeLists.txt CSFDemo LICENSE.txt matlab python README.md src

That is strange behavior. As a quick workaround, you should be able to comment that line out in the src/CMakeLists.txt like

install(TARGETS CSF LIBRARY DESTINATION lib)
#install(TARGETS CSF ARCHIVE DESTINATION lib)
install(FILES ${CSF_HEADERS} DESTINATION include)

What version of cmake are you using? (cmake --version), I am testing on my side with 3.15.5

[TheAdamP]

Commenting this out still gave the same error unfortunately. However commenting the line above fixed this issue, unsure if this will have an effect later on. I am running cmake 3.10.2-1

[chaohe1998]

Hello, have you solved this problem

[shuqiu0202]

install(TARGETS CSF
LIBRARY DESTINATION lib
ARCHIVE DESTINATION lib
)
install(FILES ${CSF_HEADERS} DESTINATION include)

I have same problem in ubuntu 18.04, cmake 3.10.2, gcc 7.5, change old to this can work.

[silent-zhou]

updating the version of cmake will solve your problem
