What I usually do is this: cd /my/podofo/checkout mkdir _build cd _build cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" .. \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= \ -Dxx where the two dots above reference the checkout root, where the main CMakeLists.txt file is located. This is similar to what the README.html file says for the Windows build [1], where they use ..\podofo-src. I guess you took the commands from there. What you changed is that the podofo-debug is not created under the checkout directory, but beside it and you confused podofo-src with podofo\src (the first is with a dash, the second as a path delimiter). The suggested directory structure in the README.html file is (say checked out in C:\Projects): C:\Projects podofo-src cmake doc examples . src . CMakeLists.txt . podofo-debug Note the podofo-src and podofo-debug are at the same level. Whenever I say "checkout" above, it can be replaced with "unpack tarball with sources".

[Podofo-users] Unable to build Podofo Windows 7using MinGW
Hi, I am an experienced programmer but relatively new to C++, CMake and the gcc compiler. I am having difficulty building the Podofo library on Windows 7 Pro using the gcc compiler. I have experience writing technical documentation would be happy to write up what I learn and post to help the community if that might help others who follow my path. I created a directory called Podofo-Debug underneath the Podofo directory and then created the following dos batch file to install Podofo: [Code] SETLOCAL SET include="c:\program files (x86)\codeblocks\mingw\include" SET lib="c:\program files (x86)\codeblocks\mingw\lib" SET src="C:\PBWin10\AnsiCSamples\LearnCPP\PoDoFo\src" SET builddir="C:\PBWin10\AnsiCSamples\LearnCPP\PoDoFo\podofo-debug" :: -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH= https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4669215/cmake-compilation-error :: cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" ..\podofo-src -DCMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=c:\progra~1\gnuwin32\include -DCMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=c:\progra~1\gnuwin32\lib -DPODOFO_BUILD_SHARED:BOOL=FALSE "C:\Program files (x86)\cmake\bin\cmake" -G "MinGW Makefiles" %src% -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=%builddir% -DCMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=%include% -DCMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=%lib% -DPODOFO_BUILD_SHARED:BOOL=FALSE mingw32-make ENDLOCAL SET /P DUMMY="enter any key to continue..." EXIT [/code] I kept getting this error: Run cmake on the CMakeLists.txt in the project root, not the one in the 'src' directory. You will need to delete CMakeCache.txt from the current directory. So, I removed the cache files (any I could find) then moved my batch file to the Podofo directory (one level up from Podofo-debug) and tried again. I still get the same error (results are below - I put the error in blue text). I am not experienced enough to understand the error and I hope it is something simple. Please let me know if it would help the Community if I write up detailed instructions for other newbe Podofo users once I learn how. Thanks in advance (results of my batch file are below my signature line).
