Is this the MSYS CMake or the MINGW CMake? Use the command “which -a cmake” to 
be sure. 

 

If MSYS CMake: Slightly confusingly, this does *not* support “MSYS Makefiles”, 
and I believe never has. You have to use “Unix Makefiles” (the default) for 
that. 

 

If MINGW CMake: I just tried and it works for me. What is cmake --version?

Subject: [Msys2-users] CMake Error: Could not create named generator MSYS 
Makefiles

 

It's an old problem, but it seems to have returned. Attempting to run the 
command 

cmake

... -G "MSYS Makefiles"

Gives me the error

CMake Error: Could not create named generator MSYS Makefiles

I couldn't find an answer elsewhere, so I'm hoping there's a solution here.
