----------------------------------

             Summary: Native Client examples: Build fails outside installed product directory tree
                 Key: GEODE-5736
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-5736
             Project: Geode
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: docs, native client
            Reporter: Dave Barnes


The file ../examples/cpp/BUILD-CPP-EXAMPLES.md (and its dotnet counterpart) instructs the user to begin by copying the `examples` directory to the user's own workspace.

When I do this, the Cmake configuration step fails with the following error:

 

```

    cmake .. -DGEODE_ROOT=/Users/mydir/geode16

    CMake Error at        /usr/local/Cellar/cmake/3.12.0/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:137 (message):

  Could NOT find GeodeNative (missing: GeodeNative_CPP_LIBRARY

  GeodeNative_CPP_INCLUDE_DIR) (found version "1.0")

Call Stack (most recent call first):

  /usr/local/Cellar/cmake/3.12.0/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:378 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE)

  /Users/mydir/ncextest/examples/cmake/FindGeodeNative.cmake:116 (FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS)

  continuousquery/CMakeLists.txt:28 (find_package)

```

When I run the same command in place in my installed `examples` directory, it works fine.

Two solutions come to mind:

 * Fix the Cmake setup, or
 * Just delete this step from the BUILDING.md file (easy, but copying the directory is really a better practice)
