Hello world Cmake error. The source directory "/work" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt. #1436

Description

@cvisl

Following the instructions of the hello-world tutorial. I get the following error:

Not searching for unused variables given on the command line.
CMake Error: The source directory "/work" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
ninja: fatal: invalid -j parameter

😵  undefined

My system:

  • Fedora 42
  • Docker 4.37.1
  • npm 10.9.2

I am not aware what happens in the Docker images but it doesn't seem to copy the CMakeLists.txt into the docker image?

My directory contains when I run the instructions (setup and build):

-rw-r--r--. 1   89 Jul 30 11:49 CMakeLists.txt
-rw-r--r--. 1   96 Jul 30 11:56 hello.cxx
