Re: [CMake] message could not create named generator CodeBlocks -MinGW Makefiles
2012/2/16 paspa...@noos.fr: Hello, I am trying to use CMake with codeblocks on windows, I created a simple project in the folder pCMake when I use the CMake interface I got the message: You mean graphical interface where you select the generator from a list?
