#62855: cmake-gui unable to fine CMAKE_ROOT
-------------------------+--------------------

 Priority:  Normal       |  Milestone:
Component:  ports        |    Version:  2.6.4
 Keywords:  cmake-gui    |       Port:  cmake
-------------------------+--------------------
 I'm trying to use cmake-gui to compile [https://cloudcompare.org
 CloudCompare] using the
 [https://github.com/CloudCompare/CloudCompare/blob/master/BUILD.md build
 instructions]. I've installed cmake-gui using `sudo port install +gui
 +qt5`.

 Something is wrong with `CMAKE_ROOT` as it pertains to `cmake-gui` in that
 I get:

 {{{
 ayank at snorri programming % cmake-gui --version
 CMake Error: Could not find CMAKE_ROOT !!!
 CMake has most likely not been installed correctly.
 Modules directory not found in

 cmake version 3.19.8

 CMake suite maintained and supported by Kitware (kitware.com/cmake).
 }}}

 No problems with regular `cmake`:

 {{{
 ayank at snorri programming % cmake --version
 cmake version 3.19.8

 CMake suite maintained and supported by Kitware (kitware.com/cmake).
 }}}

 The errors I get with CloudCompare are all downstream of this.

 After doing `git clone --recursive
 https://github.com/cloudcompare/CloudCompare.git` I'm starting CMake with
 `cmake-gui &`, selecting directory
 ``/Users/ayank/Documents/programming/CloudCompare`` as the source code
 directory and ``/Users/ayank/Documents/programming/CloudCompare/build`` as
 the build directory. Clicking ``Configure``, I'm keeping the defaults of
 ``Unix Makefiles`` and ``Use default native compilers``.

 I then get a pop-up window with `Error in configuration process, project
 files may be invalid` and the following error text:

 {{{
 CMake Error: Could not find CMAKE_ROOT !!!
 CMake has most likely not been installed correctly.
 Modules directory not found in

 CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to
 "Unix Makefiles".  CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set.  You probably need to
 select a different build tool.
 CMake Error: CMAKE_C_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage
 CMake Error: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage
 Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
 }}}

 CloudCompare builds fine if I do:

 {{{
 cd build
 cmake ..
 make
 }}}

 However, I want to compile CloudCompare with PDAL support for reading
 .las/.laz files and therefore need to get the GUI working for setting
 compile options.
