Werner,
I did try to set up the command line interface first
by running the batch file with the content:
set CMAKEDIR=C:\Program Files\CMake 2.4
set PATH=D:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for
Windows Server 2003 R2\Bin;;%PATH%
set INCLUDE=D:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK
for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include;%INCLUDE%
set LIB=D:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for
Windows Server 2003 R2\Lib;%LIB%
rem run setup for Visual C++ 2005 compiler
"%VS80COMNTOOLS%vsvars32.bat"
This batch file was modified, according to the
specific settings on my computer, from what you
suggested a couple of weeks ago. It does not seem to
help the command-line version of cmake. But I believe
that it does help the GUI version of cmake somehow,
because I could not get anything from both versions of
cmake without running this batch file a couple of
weeks ago.
I tweaked the build a little bit this morning. The
file "plhershey-unicode-gen.exe" was found to be in
the folder $CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR/include/debug
instead of CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR. This may be due
to the fact that, when I built the library, my
compiler was in debug build mode. I copied the file
into CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR, and rebuild the library
again (kind of cheat the compiler?). Then, I got no
error message, 9 succeeded and 3 skipped. By building
the INSTALL again, which I believe was skipped due to
debug mode, it seems that I got all the header files,
.lib files, .dll files and so on in the installation
folder. I have not used makefiles for a couple of
years, so I get headache with it now, although I know
it's not really difficult.
Thanks a lot for the help. I will soon write some code
to test the library files I got so far, and see how it
goes. Hope it works.
