[CMake] windows link error
I am trying to use cmake v2.8.0 on Windows XP to link a library. On Mac OS X and Linux, it works. But on Windows I get a very strange error: C:\strawberry\c\bin\ld.exe: /lib: No such file: No such file or directory The only thing I can think of is that this is some kind of reference to Strawberry Perl, which I don't even have installed. My project, btw, has nothing to do with Pearl-- its C++. Why isn't it using the path to the MSVC ld? It does so for the cl tool. Here is the full cmake/nmake output: cmake .. -- Configuring done -- Generating done -- Build files have been written to: C:/Documents and Settings/asimmons/My Documents/Development/sre/branches/cmake/build nmake VERBOSE=1 Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 9.00.30729.01 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.

Re: [CMake] windows link error
You're right-- msvc uses link; I was thinking of gcc's ld. I guess the question is why is it trying to use ld at all? Cmake successfully detects that its using msvc/nmake, as it compiles all of the .c files with cl. It's the lib-linking step that falls down.

What's in the cmake cache? Is the ld.exe mentioned there? Perhaps, Aaron's problem is caused by some commands hardcoded in CMake files. ld.exe looks to me as MinGW (or Cygwin) utility And, perhaps, the CMake configuration assumes that Windows build is done using MinGW.

Re: [CMake] windows link error
Thanks-- the cmake cache is where the trouble is: CMAKE_LINKER:FILEPATH=C:/strawberry/c/bin/ld.exe I used to have strawberry perl installed a while ago, but it's now uninstalled. I guess I ran cmake back then and it cached the wrong linker. Rerunning cmake doesn't seem to overwrite the cache, so I clobbered the whole folder and reran cmake. Now it's using msvc's link. I'm not sure where the bug is (if there is one). Should re-running cmake recreate the cache? Why does the presence of strawberry perl confuse cmake? -Original Message- From: cmake-boun...@cmake.org [mailto:cmake-boun...@cmake.org] On Behalf Of Andreas Pakulat Sent: Thursday, March 04, 2010 15:39 To: cmake@cmake.org Subject: Re: [CMake] windows link error On 04.03.10 17:27:56, Simmons, Aaron wrote: You're right-- msvc uses link; I was thinking of gcc's ld.

Should re-running cmake recreate the cache? Why does the presence of strawberry perl confuse cmake? If CMake recreated the cache each time, it wouldn't be much of a cache now would it :)? Semi-educated guess: CMake was looking for things that looked like linkers in your PATH. For whatever reason (running CMake from an environment where that magic Visual Studio .bat file hadn't been sourced and thus your environment was incomplete), it didn't find the VS linker so it kept looking and found something called ld.exe in your PATH. It's hard to say whether this is a bug because we don't know anything about your environment. If you can reproduce this problem, I'm sure the experts would like to see it. But if all you have a is a CMake binary directory of unknown age and origin, that's not so helpful. tyler ___ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
