Csaba was clear but it seems you are misunderstanding,
the call to cmake is
cmake [options] <path-to-source>
No, not <path-to-source> but <path-to-CMakeLists.txt>
For quickhull, CMakeLists.txt is in the root of the project, the
sources are under the src directory.
Csaba,
you are 100 %right.
I just copied the cmake help
$ cmake --help |head -n 4
Usage
cmake [options] <path-to-source>
cmake [options] <path-to-existing-build>
where of course they consider CMakeLists.txt as part of the source
and placed in the tree root.
Regardless of where the build is performed, the path in the cmake
invocation must point to the root of the project. Copying
CMakeLists.txt into ./src and pointing cmake to ./src is unlikely to
work.
All of this is moot because the author of quickhull littered
CMakeLists.txt with clang-specific compiler switches. He made no
attempt to cater for the world's most widely used C++ compiler (GCC).
I agree on that. He made the life hard for anyone to build his software.
Csaba

Marco

I decided to try this on opensuse to see if that made a difference. After updating to
cmake 3.6 and installing clang, the command with pdw as /build,
cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang ..
gives the following output without error,

-- The CXX compiler identification is Clang 3.5.0

You can see that the above is different then the results with cygwin,
-- The CXX compiler identification is Clang 3.5.0
-- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/clang -- works
The above did not appear to build the application in that I don't see any binaries
that were created. It looks like the command cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang .. just
configured the build without actually compiling and building the application.
Do I need to do something different to get the application to be created? I have
never used cmake before and am more than a bit out of my depth here.
At any rate, the above suggests that there is an issue with my cygwin installation
here and possibly that clang isn't working. Does my output from cygcheck suggest
anything?
