Yes, Stefan, I read what you posted. Did you read what I just posted?
About making sure you're helping people help you solve your problems?
Also remember, this thread isn't only for your benefit, but for others
with similar problems who might read this now or find it in the archives
later.

Now, the most common cause for your problem is leftover cmake files.
As I said, clean out the source dir before continuing.

the directory using other methods.
