But it might help you in the meantime, until another Windows user chimes in. This error looks like it is failing to find the FineMaya.cmake extension module that was provided by Chad's repo. The idea here with cmake is that it is a build system generator, which supports extension modules to do reusable custom tasks, and in this case, to find Maya's development env. The README in Chad's project is suggesting a way to structure your own project and the contents of the CMakeLists files, and to ensure that you have the FindMaya.cmake file in the right spot. https://github.com/chadmv/cgcmake/blob/master/README.md?plain=1#L34 These lines in the root CMakeLists are setting the tools dir to be relative to the current source directory processed by cmake (./cgcmake/modules), so it assumes you have this existing path: ./cgcmake/modules/FindMaya.cmake Can you confirm that you have this module file in the correct location in your own project? It will load the FindMaya.cmake because of this: https://github.com/chadmv/cgcmake/blob/master/README.md?plain=1#L48 Once you get past that part of cmake finding the module, then it will try to determine the location of your Maya installation: https://github.com/chadmv/cgcmake/blob/master/modules/FindMaya.cmake#L54 And you can see what aspects of the Maya installation it expects to find (includes and devkit): https://github.com/chadmv/cgcmake/blob/master/modules/FindMaya.cmake#L86 Hope that unblocks you. > > > Anyway, I am completly lost here. > > Thanks, > R > > > El jueves, 14 de octubre de 2021 a las 23:01:30 UTC+2, Mahmoodreza Aarabi > escribió: > >> Good point Chad >> >> On Thu, Oct 14, 2021 at 1:44 PM Chad Vernon <chadv...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> I've used Jenkins CI in the past to build plugins for multiple versions >>> of Maya on all 3 platforms.
