[CMake] Question of using cmake in Windows
Hi, I am using cmake (3.0.0) to setup environment for my compiling on Windows and require mingw-w64 compiler. I pretty much followed your instruction with Method 2 here: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ#How_do_I_use_a_different_compiler.3F But cmake output always showed that it is building for Visual Studio 12 2013 and the c compiler identification is MSVC 18.0.21005.1 not the mingw-w64 compiler I want. I usually deleted all files under the build subdir to remove cached stuff before start over. However the cmake gui version is much better which allows to delete the cached stuff and then I can specify the generator for the making, say MinGW. I was able to specify the right compiler. So why only cmake gui version works for me, not the cmake command? Thanks in advance.

Use the -G option to the cmake on the command line to pick a generator. cmake --help should list the ones supported by your version of cmake. -Bill -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.

Ok, run cmake -G MinGW Makefiles -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/c/mingw-w64-4.9.0/mingw64/bin I got this error: CMake Error: the source directory does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt What I am missing?
