As you guessed, manually setting the the detection variables (SIMGEAR_VERSION_OK, etc) is a bad idea, unless you set *all* the generated variables correctly - not impossible, but a lot of work. The error you report looks like it's happening because the detection script has got confused, but I need to see the arguments / environment passed to CMake, to understand why. James (if you are listening and I am not on your >/dev/null list) Yes I am well aware that forcing SIMGEAR_VERSION_OK is bad practice, but in lieu of a proper fix it got my build process working. With the MSVC project build system Windows users have had to generate their own "version.h" file from "version.h.in" for some time now, so it was no surprise that Cmake had similar problems. I can send you files from my flightgear/cmake setup if these help. Let me know which files you need. I am still of the impression that Cmake is a backward step for Windows users. Perhaps you consider them unimportant, but flightgear is cross platform, and Windows is not an insignificant user base. Previously all that was necessary was to open C:\flightgear\flightgear\projects\FlightGear.sln and MSVC did everything - building both simgear and flightgear with one click of the button. Now it is necessary to set up (and get acquainted with !) Cmake, run Cmake generate and Cmake configure, open simgear.sln with MSVC select all-build followed by build install, and then repeat the Cmake + MSVC process with flightgear. Rant over. ;) Alan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The demand for IT networking professionals continues to grow, and the demand for specialized networking skills is growing even more rapidly.
