Code

I do this command ccmake -DITK_USE_REVIEW=ON … and a CMAKE error appear:
CMake Error: The source directory “/home/asma/gate” does not appear to
contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

but I’m sure thet the directory /home/asma/gate contain CMakeLists.txt

Be explicit with the source/build directories.

cd /home/asma/gate
cmake -S . -B build/

# If the above commands succeed than use ccmake like this
ccmake -S . -B build/

First thank you for your reply.

What do you mean by source/build directories.

When I did: cmake -S . -B build/ I got the same error:

CMake Error: The source directory “/home/asma/gate” does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
