This is a repost (and rewording) of an earlier post “Setting
CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL or CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM with MinGW tools,” which garnered
no response. Hopefully this post is clearer:

I have Cmake 2.8.8 installed along with MinGW 4.7.2 on Windows XP with
no other development tools. I would like this project to build using
only MinGW tools, if possible. The project includes C and Fortran code,
and those are both recognized (GNU 4.7.2 and GNU, respectively) and
correctly generate simple test programs.However, Cmake fails at the next
step with this message:

    Cmake Error: Generator: execution of make failed. Make command was:
nmake /NOLOGO “cmTryCompileExec970418286\fast”

I cannot understand why it would be calling ‘nmake’ and not
‘mingw32-make.exe’. I added this to my CMakeLists.txt file:

    SET(CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL C:/MinGW/bin/mingw32-make.exe)

But this has not helped.

Can you do this:

mkdir clean-build
cd clean-build
cmake --trace -G "MinGW Makefiles" ../path/to/your/source  > log.txt

email me a zip file of the clean-build tree assuming it gets the same error. Don't email to the list, email directly to me.

Thanks.

-Bill
