[CMake] How to set the cmake variable on windows

[Michael Drüing]

Hi,

 

As Patrick already told  on Jan.10, you have to use

   cmake -G"MinGW Makefiles"

To tell CMake what type of Makefiles you want. Use

cmake --help

To see all available parameters for -G

Hi,

 

I call cmake with this command line.

 

Cmake CMakeList.

 

Is it correct ?

 

Tanks for your answer.

 

Best regards

Which generator are you using?

I use:

cmake -G"MinGW Makefiles" <path to source dir>

 

I believe the default generator on windows is Microsoft's' compilers, hence the problem with CL.exe.

 

Assumptions:

This presumes standard MinGW32 compilers are available on the path - for me this is C:\MinGW\bin

Do not put the MSYS shell (C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin) on the path as well or CMake will complain.

 

You shouldn't need to set CXX or CC environment variables but you can do so as a last resort.

 

Note that "make" in this case (windows command prompt) is usually: mingw32-make, not gmake or make

 

Good luck,

 

Brett
