TriBiTS must have version 3.23.0 or higher

[zhengqigao]

When I do ./do-configure, I get the following error:

Make Error at tribits/core/common/TribitsConstants.cmake:17 (message):
  Error, TriBiTS must have version 3.23.0 or higher!
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  tribits/core/package_arch/TribitsProjectImpl.cmake:33 (tribits_asesrt_minimum_cmake_version)
  tribits/core/package_arch/TribitsProject.cmake:40 (include)
  tribits/TriBITS.cmake:27 (include)
  CMakeLists.txt:14 (include)

What might be the problem?

@zhengqigao, what version of CMake are you trying to use? When you run:

cmake --version

in your shell, what does it return?

[zhengqigao]

3.18.0

Actually, I am installing Trilinos using Cmake. I manually change the CmakeList.txt in Trilinos to allow Cmake 3.18.0 and then compile Trilinos. But then it shows error:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=./build ./Trilinos
CMake Error at cmake/tribits/core/common/TribitsConstants.cmake:17 (message):
  Error, TriBiTS must have version 3.23.0 or higher!
Call Stack (most recent call first):

  cmake/tribits/TriBITS.cmake:27 (include)
  CMakeLists.txt:30 (INCLUDE)

I guess I need to install TriBiTS first, but I failed with the error provided at the beginning of this post.

3.18.0

@zhengqigao, a CMake version 3.23.0 or higher is needed to build TriBITS or any project that uses TriBITS. It appears we may need to improve that error message some to make this more clear. I will put in a PR that does that.

@zhengqigao, here is the PR that should make this error message more clear:

• Provide better error message for tribits_asesrt_minimum_cmake_version() (#612) #613

Thanks for raising this issue!

@zhengqigao, you don't need to bother with TriBITS directly. Trilinos has its own snapshotted copy of TriBITS that is compatible with that version of Trilinos (see TriBITS directory snapshotting). (What version of Trilinos are you trying to build?)
