Robert Caulk proposed the following answer:
Welcome to yade!

Is there a reason you are compiling from sources? Since you are new to
yade, I recommend installing yadedaily from prebuilt packages to become
familiar with the software before moving on to compiling from sources.
This can be achieved simply with the following commands:

sudo bash -c 'echo "deb http://www.yade-dem.org/packages/ xenial/" >> /etc/apt/sources.list'
wget -O - http://www.yade-dem.org/packages/yadedev_pub.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install yadedaily

(note, you will want to replace xenial with your distribution).

That error is telling you that it wants to find the file CMakeLists.txt
in /home/tanvir/myyade/trunk, but it is unable to. You should navigate
to that folder and check to see if CMakeLists.txt exists there. We
already know it doesn't, and this means your path/to/sources is
incorrect or you did not clone trunk properly. So find out the path to
the folder that contains CMakeLists.txt, and use that as your
path/to/sources.

I am guessing you created a folder called "trunk" and then cloned yade
inside of it. Am I right? This would mean your path to sources is
actually:

/home/tanvir/myyade/trunk/trunk

Or maybe you did not clone yade at all? In which case you will want to
start the installation guide [1] from the beginning and follow each
step.
