Mac install error in file generate_iso_language_codes.cmake about tagparser HOT 7 CLOSED

You can just specify the path by setting the CMake variable LANGUAGE_FILE_ISO_639_2. Nothing is hard coded here - the path under usr/share is just a default.

Great, thanks!

I updated the build instructions to make it more obvious how to specify this path.

So I tried what you said and still got the same error. Here are the two cmake commands I tried:

cmake ENABLE_THREAD_LOCAL=OFF
USE_STANDARD_FILESYSTEM=OFF
LANGUAGE_FILE_ISO_639_2="/usr/local/share/iso-codes/json/iso_639-2.json"
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-std=c++17"
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/usr/local"
"/Users/oldfaithful/Local/tageditor/tagparser"

cmake ENABLE_THREAD_LOCAL=OFF
USE_STANDARD_FILESYSTEM=OFF
LANGUAGE_FILE="/usr/local/share/iso-codes/json/iso_639-2.json"
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-std=c++17"
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/usr/local"
"/Users/oldfaithful/Local/tageditor/tagparser"

Finally figured it out. You have to add -D to your arguments.

-DLANGUAGE_FILE_ISO_639_2="/usr/local/share/iso-codes/json/iso_639-2.json"

Made a lot more sense once I understood this. Lots of places in the docs where you either leave -D off, or show it. I got confused. Now I pretty much see that -D is essential to cmake flags.

When I say "add …" to the CMake flags I use -D… because that's the flag. When I say "set CMake variable …" than I omit it because the -D isn't actually part of the variable name. Maybe I should be more consistent and just use the first version.

Consistency would help the noobs. Now that I know I just do it properly.
