wordwrap is off so what you see is what I got

The only reply I got, obviously from someone who didn't actually read 
my msg.

Starting from the src directory unpacked from the tarball the first 
instruction line from INSTALL.md is:

mkdir build && cd build

so my path is then

gene at coyote:~/src/clamav-0.104.0-rc/build$

The next instruction line from INSTALL.md is:

cmake .. -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Release"

Which generates this response:

CMake Error: The source directory "/home/gene/src/clamav-0.104.0-rc/build/CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release" does not exist.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

So that error is itself erronious, that build directory is there and I an cd'd
into it.

So my simple point is that even the 2nd step of the "install" does not work.
cmake does not have a gui, and despite having used it before, I have never
seen its gui if it has one.

That tarball is exactly as it was unpacked.
From that "build" directory, an ls ..shows this:
build                     clamav-version.h.in  clam-format     CMakeOptions.cmake  dockerfiles  INSTALL.md       libclamunrar_iface  README.md
ChangeLog.md              clambc               clamonacc       CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md  docs         Jenkinsfile      libfreshclam        SECURITY.md

target.h.cmake.in
clamav-milter             clamdscan            cmake           COPYING.txt         freshclam    libclammspack    platform.h.in       unit_tests
clamav-types.h.in         clamdtop             CMakeLists.txt  Dockerfile          fuzz         libclamunrar     README.Docker.md    win32

Did I download a bad tarball?

cmake --version RETURN says:
cmake version 3.7.2

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

So my next question was:

Next?

Which generated this msg's quoted opening text, and which makes zero sense to me
since the empty build directory does exist and I am cd'd into it..

Seems to me the instructions should Just Work, but its not working, so what is missing?

I haven't a clue what else I can copy/paste from that shells window that
might be helpfull. Better yet, remake the tarball with working instructions.

Thanks.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
