Ethminer: does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt

[arashghaemi]

ethminer@ethminer-System-Product-Name:~$ mkdir build; cd build
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘build’: File exists
ethminer@ethminer-System-Product-Name:~/build$ cmake ..
CMake Error: The source directory "/home/ethminer" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
ethminer@ethminer-System-Product-Name:~/build$

Can't seem to get passed this part. I looked in the ethminer folder and I DO have the CMakeLists.txt file in there.

You are in the wrong dir.

[arashghaemi]

@chfast Could you please elaborate?

[chfast]

You must be in /home/ethminer/ethminer dir not /home/ethminer.

What about Windows 10?
I'm in the folder which I download it from the official website and the same error message appears!

[MeqdadDarweesh]

Ok, I solved that with OpenCV in win 10
it's in sources folder

Try with this link, it could be useful for your case.

My problem was with openCV library.
