Error 'setup.py' and empty solution with CMAKE under Windows

[Paolo Patierno]

Hello,

I downloaded qpid-cpp-0.26 and installed all the necessary tools.

After launch the following command (I want to build for VS2012) :


cmake -i -G Visual Studio 11 .


Cmake seems to do a lot of work but then it finished with following error :


C:\Python27\python.exe: can't open file 'setup.py': [Errno 2] No such file
or directory


If I launch command cmake without -i ... cmake generates a qpid-cpp.sln
without projects !

I can't find any vcproj files ?


What is the problem ?


Thanks,
Paolo.

If you wanted to try Proton this is the wrong thing to download as
Proton is not included in the qpid source code, it is a separate
download.

[If you wanted help with qpid then us...@qpid.apache.org would be a more
useful list]

I'm not sure that building from within the source tree works. It is
definitely better and recommended to use a completely separate build
directory. So create a new build directory and either run from the
command line within that or use the gui and point it at a separate build
directory.

I'm not sure that not having a build directory is the cause of your
problem, but you are doing something we don't do/test. We do know that
cmake builds VS files under 0.26 in the configurations we have tested
