Could not find a configuration file for package "ECM" that is compatible with requested version 1.5.0

Question

I tried to download "ECMConfig.cmake" from repository, but terminal gives me an error: "question's title + The following configuration files were considered but not accepted: ECMConfig.cmake : version is unknowed. I tried to search on Google, but got nothing. I wanted to compile from source "kde frameworks" using this command:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/john/QtProjects/KDEStuff/frameworkintegration/build/ 
         -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/home/john/Downloads/

P.S:
"/home/john/Downloads/" - where my *.cmake is.

Just in case remember it could also happen when not having read access on `/usr/share`. — Scrooge McDuck, Jun 03 '22 at 00:47

Try to clone, compile and install the extra-cmake-modules KDE project.

git clone https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/extra-cmake-modules.git 
cd extra-cmake-modules
mkdir build && cd build    
cmake ..
make && sudo make install

Too bad that these commands did not work in my case. I've got `CMake Error at /usr/local/share/ECM/modules/ECMQueryQmake.cmake:23` with message `QMake call failed: No such file or directory` even after execution of all above. Update is appreciated. – im_infamous Jun 20 '16 at 18:54
@im_infamous Please check that last command `sudo make install` was succesfull. – Diego Lopez Jun 23 '16 at 11:52

The GitHub link is a mirror available for everyone's convenience. The main git repository is now at: https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/extra-cmake-modules.git – Javier Cordero Jan 31 '21 at 17:42

In my case I simply had to install the extra-cmake-modules package.

sudo pacman -S extra-cmake-modules
