[CMake] C/CXX/Fortran Compiler not found.
Dear all, I am trying to build from a source code using CMAKE on Windows 7. I have no prior experience in building from source code, so I need your help in this regard. The application requires following external dependencies with versions mentioned or more advanced versions: - CMake-2.6 (build system) - Qt-4.4 (UI framework) - gcc-4.3 (C, C++ and Fortran compilers) So I installed CMake 2.8.7 in C:\Program files\CMake 2.8 directory, Qt-library-4.8.0 in the C:\Qt directory. For gcc-4.3, when I googled, I found I can install MinGW and so I installed the latest version in C:\MinGW directory. When I am trying to build with CMAKE command, I am getting following error message: The C compiler identification is unknown The CXX compiler identification is unknown The Fortran compiler identification is unknown Check for working C compiler: bcc32 CMake Error: your C compiler: bcc32 was not found. Please set CMAKE_C_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name. CMake Error: Internal CMake error, TryCompile configure of cmake failed Check for working C compiler: bcc32 -- broken CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:52 (MESSAGE): The C compiler bcc32 is not able to compile a simple test program. It fails with the following output: CMake will not be able to correctly generate this project. Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:2 (project) CMake Error: your C compiler: bcc32 was not found. Please set CMAKE_C_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name. CMake Error: your CXX compiler: bcc32 was not found. Please set CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name. CMake Error: your Fortran compiler: CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER-NOTFOUND was not found. Please set CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name. Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! _ I am using the Windows native command prompt. Can anyone tell me why these compilers are not detected? If I have to give some path, then which files do I have to edit? Thanks in advance for your suggestion.

Re: [CMake] C/CXX/Fortran Compiler not found.
Dear Arjen, Thank you very much for the reply. Indeed, gcc command is not working on windows command prompt. As you mentioned, I tried to set the path with path=c:\MinGW\bin;%PATH% command. Now gcc is working. when I tried to build with CMAKE, it can detect the Fortran compiler; but C and CXX is not detected yet. Here is the content of the C:\MinGW\bin folder: aclocal aclocal-1.10 aclocal-1.11 aclocal-1.4 aclocal-1.5 aclocal-1.6 aclocal-1.7 aclocal-1.8 aclocal-1.9 addr2line.exe ar.exe as.exe autoconf autoconf-2.13 autoconf-2.68 autoheader autoheader-2.13 autoheader-2.68 autom4te autom4te-2.68 automake automake-1.10 automake-1.11 automake-1.4 automake-1.5 automake-1.6 automake-1.7 automake-1.8 automake-1.9 autopoint autoreconf autoreconf-2.13 autoreconf-2.68 autoscan autoscan-2.13 autoscan-2.68 autoupdate autoupdate-2.13 autoupdate-2.68 c++.exe c++filt.exe cc.exe cpp.exe dlltool.exe dllwrap.exe elfedit.exe envsubst.exe g++.exe gcc.exe gcov.exe gdb-python27.exe gdb.exe gdbserver-python27.exe gdbserver.exe gettext.exe gettext.sh gettextize gfortran.exe gprof.exe iconv.exe ifnames ifnames-2.13 ifnames-2.68 ld.bfd.exe ld.exe libexpat-1.dll libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll libgettextlib-0-18-1.dll libgettextpo-0.dll libgettextsrc-0-18-1.dll libgfortran-3.dll libgmp-10.dll libgomp-1.dll libiconv-2.dll libintl-8.dll libltdl-7.dll libmpc-2.dll libmpfr-1.dll libobjc-3.dll libquadmath-0.dll libssp-0.dll libstdc++-6.dll libtool libtoolize list mingw32-c++.exe mingw32-cc.exe mingw32-g++-4.6.2.exe mingw32-g++.exe mingw32-gcc-4.6.2.exe mingw32-gcc.exe mingw32-gfortran.exe mingw32-make.exe mingwm10.dll msgattrib.exe msgcat.exe msgcmp.exe msgcomm.exe msgconv.exe msgen.exe msgexec.exe msgfilter.exe msgfmt.exe msggrep.exe msginit.exe msgmerge.exe msgunfmt.exe msguniq.exe ngettext.exe nm.exe objcopy.exe objdump.exe pthreadGC2.dll quserex-test.exe ranlib.exe readelf.exe recode-sr-latin.exe size.exe strings.exe strip.exe windmc.exe windres.exe xgettext.exe Could you suggest why C and CXX compilers are not detected yet?

That is: does the command gcc work? If not, then you will have to add the location of the compiler to your path: path=c:\MinGW\bin;%PATH% This, however, should have been taken care of by the installation procedure. CMake will be able to find the compiler from a DOS-box where gcc works.

Re: [CMake] C/CXX/Fortran Compiler not found.
Dear Arjen, Just by googling I found a solution on internet which suggested to install VB and Intel Fortran. I tried and now cmake is detecting the C, CXX and Fortran compiler. Thanks for the suggestion anyway. regards, Kedar On Wed, Jan 11, 2012 at 1:24 PM, Arjen Markus arjen.mar...@deltares.nlwrote: Hi Kedar, if CMake can find the Fortran compiler and the command gcc works from that same environment/DOS-box, then I see no particular reason why CMake should not be able to find it. Are the messages still the same (except for the Fortran part)? Note that you should start in a completely clean directory, as CMake keeps track of previous builds and build attempts via all kinds of files in that directory. They may interfere with the proper operation. Regards, Arjen On Wed, 11 Jan 2012 12:28:25 +0100 Kedar Moharana kedar.mohar...@ugent.be wrote: Dear Arjen, Thank you very much for the reply.
