Hi
I am new to cmake. I have installed cmake (using
cmake-2.6.4-win32-x86.exe) on my Win XP platform, on which I also have
Visual Studio 2005 Prof and Visual Studio 2008 Express installed.
I am trying to build PLplot, whose instructions tell me to run:
cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install ..
but I get:
CMake Error: Could not create named generator
-- Check for working C compiler: gcc
-- Check for working C compiler: gcc -- broken
The C compiler "gcc" is not able to compile a simple test program.
It appears that cmake only knows about the unix generator:
C:\plplot-5.9.5\buildnmake>cmake --help
[snip]
The following generators are available on this platform:
Unix Makefiles = Generates standard UNIX makefiles.
I have run Visual Studio file vcvars32.bat
How can I install the nmake and Visual Studio 8 generators please?
Best regards
David
My guess is you are using the cygwin built CMake, use the windows CMake
from www.cmake.org.
