Compiling SC without Emacs support

Questions

I am trying to build SC from source on Arch Linux using the cmake flags and without EMacs support.

   $> cmake -DNATIVE=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/usr/local ..

I get the following error:

CMake Error at editors/sc-el/el/CMakeLists.txt:23 (message):
  Emacs could not be found.

   (If emacs interface is not required, then set SC_EL=no)

If I add in the flag -SC_EL=no:

    $>  cmake -DNATIVE=ON  -SC_EL=no  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/usr/local ..

…the same error occurs. Clearly I am setting the SC_EL=no option incorrectly. What am I doing wrong? Thx in advance

You should pass -DSC_EL=NO. SC_EL is the option name, -D is the flag.

Thanks; I should have spotted that. I guess I’m not used to seeing flags appended directly to their arguments :slight_smile:
