For some reason, Smoke_DIR keeps getting set to the location of my built smokegen, instead of my installed smokegen, so I keep having to change it by hand. Finally, I renamed "smokegen-build" to "smokegen-build-installed" and it stopped magically finding that directory.<br></span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>But the biggest obstacle was that the smokeqt cmake files can't handle paths with spaces in them. smokegen was previously installed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\smokegenerator". I set
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to install it in "C:\qtcs_stuff\smokegenerator" and now CMake could find the rest of the files it couldn't find before, e.g. MacroOptionalFindPackage.</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>Later, during smokeqt cmake configuration, cmTryCompileExec.exe couldn't start because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dl was missing. That was in C:\MinGW\bin, but that wasn't in the Windows PATH variable. So I copied that DLL to CMake's bin directory (i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\CMake 2.8\bin).</span></div><div><br>
<span></span></div>
<div><span>I
got four warnings about missing packages (QImageBlitz, Qwt5, Phonon,
and QScintilla2); I don't know if any of them are significant.</span></div>
<div><br><span></span></div><div><span>Finally, I could launch Qt Creator and build. I had to hand-edit the installed SmokeConfig.cmake (in C:\qtcs_stuff\smokegenerator\share\smoke\cmake) to add ".exe" to the end of the values for SMOKE_GEN_BIN and SMOKE_API_BIN, because otherwise the various smokedata.cpp files couldn't resolve their dependencies.</span></div><br><div><span>I had to finally add C:\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.7.4\mingw\bin to my Windows PATH variable, because smokegen.exe wouldn't run otherwise.<br></span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div>It took forever to build smokeqt, but eventually it succeeded! There were 589 warnings, most of them related to inline methods that were declared to be dllimport.<br></div><div><br></div><div>On to building qyoto! Hopefully that's not as much of an adventure.<br></div><br><span></span><div><span>Steven Boswell<br></span></div><div><br></div> <div style="font-family: times new roman,new
