compilation problem

Hi, Kent!
When I tried to compile mapmaker, I got error as:

cmake ../
-- No build type selected, default to Release
-- Configuring done
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:61 (add_executable):
  Cannot find source file:

    mapm/mapmhelp.c

CMake Generate step failed.  Build files cannot be regenerated correctly.

I am not sure what is wrong. Do you have the instruction to compile this package?
Some of my environment infos are:

$ cmake --version
cmake version 3.22.1
$ uname -a

Linux valiant6 4.15.0-187-generic #198-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 14 03:23:51 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thank you!

The executable makehelp needs to be built, and it converts two .src files to .c files. These .c files are the ones that you are missing. I'll need to look at why cmake is not building makehelp.

Spent some time on this. About the two missing files after guess:
cp makehelp/mapmhelp.c mapm/mapmhelp.c
and went back to the original MAPMAKER source code, copied the old source file to the folder by:
cp ~/Downloads/mapmaker3.0/quant/qtlhelp.c quant/
cmake again. but hit another wall:

mapmaker/lib/shell.c:27: multiple definition of `more_mode'; 
libmylib.a(iolib.c.o):mapmaker/lib/iolib.c:22: first defined here

Unfortunately, I am now familiar with cmake. Hope this could provide more clues.
