Re: [CMake] Beginning to compiling CMake file
Hi, From my understanding I must compile with Powershell ? These variables mentioned in the appveyor file they are environment variables which are set within cPanel ? What is the first step I need to do and with what file from the repository whether in PowerShell or CMake or both ?

How can I verify whether what I want to built claims support for Windows ? On 8/1/2018 11:15 AM, Michael Ellery wrote: So it sounds like you are on windows. First, be sure that the project that you are building claims support for windows.

That said, assuming windows is a supported build env, then it further sounds like you are using cmake-gui. The most sensible generator is one of the visual studio ones - 64 or 32 bit depending on your needs. Once you have generated a project with cmake, you then open that generated project with VS.

If you download the latest version of VS (even the community version), then you can just open a CMakeLIsts.txt file directly and VS will run the generation step for you.

On Windows you usually use visual studio so cmake generates build and project files for it there. Not use make and use cmake instead in this case means that you should use cmake to generate build files with cmake and not change generated build files by hand. It doesn't mean that after running cmake you shouldn't run make on those generated files if they were generated for make.

If you selected to generate files for Visual Studio cmake also generated vs project file so you can open it in ide and run build there instead. Hope this clarifies things a bit more.

Re: [CMake] Beginning to compiling CMake file
Hi, I'm using CMake for Windows as I was informed that I couldn't use `make` as the CMakeLists.txt file was only for CMake. Within CMake for Windows I select the location of the source code which is the cloned repository which include the CMakeLists.txt file that I want to compile, followed by I select a folder where to build the binaries; I'm then prompt for a generator for the project. Up to this point am I doing this correctly ?

The cmake build type can be changed depending on your needs. If the project depends on other libraries/tools, you might need to install those before building.
