Asked this question:
CMake cannot indentify path to compiler mentioned by set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER "path") rule
received an incorrect rules order response(it was obviously correct).
Aplied changes and tried again: cmake .
output:
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 9.2.0-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 9.2.0-- Check for working C compiler: C:/Strawberry/c/bin/gcc.exeCMake Error: Generator: execution of make failed. Make command was: nmake /nologo cmTC_fc6d3\fast &&-- Check for working C compiler: C:/Strawberry/c/bin/gcc.exe - broken
But I need not nmake but mingw make file ,found this topic:
CMake Error : execution of make failed on Windows
The 100% same problem I have .Tried provided solution:
You need to specify a generator in CMake command line like -G "MinGW Makefiles" and - depending on how many compilers you have installed - also the full paths to the compilers.
cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles"
output:
CMake Warning: No source or binary directory provided. Both will be assumed to be the same as the current working directory, but note that this warning will become a fatal error in future CMake releases.CMake Error: Error: generator : MinGW MakefilesDoes not match the generator used previously: NMake MakefilesEither remove the CMakeCache.txt file and CMakeFiles directory or choose a different binary directory.
and next cmake .
output gives (after deleting CMakeCache.txt file and CMakeFiles directory as mentioned above):
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 9.2.0-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 9.2.0-- Check for working C compiler: C:/Strawberry/c/bin/gcc.exeCMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "NMake Makefiles". CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set. You probably need to select a different build tool.CMake Error: CMAKE_C_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguageCMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.17/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:44 (try_compile): Failed to configure test project build system.Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:9 (project)-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!See also "CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".CMake Error: Generator: execution of make failed. Make command was: cmTC_4b6e5/fast &&-- Check for working C compiler: C:/Strawberry/c/bin/gcc.exe - broken
The 3 things i cannot understand:
- How to ... specify ... the full paths to the compilers or needed source or binary directory.
- Why compilers are connected to make.exe in any way.
- Why
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM
is not set if there is proper rule.
Changing rules order :
set( CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM FORCE ) set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER ) set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER )
andset(CMAKE_C_COMPILER ) set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER ) set( CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM FORCE )
has the same result after call.
If I remove set( CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM )
rule configuring with CMake GUI is possible but with cmd
manual cmake .
call is not .Same output as provided above.
Inside CMakeCache.txt
generated by CMake GUI call's are lines :
//Path to a program.CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM:FILEPATH=C:/Strawberry/c/bin/mingw32-make.exe
so for it was possible to find mingw32-make.exe
and path provided for manual call is also right.
My CMakeLists.txt:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.17.1)#set(CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM C:/Strawberry/c/bin/make.exe FORCE )set( CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM C:/Strawberry/c/bin/mingw32-make.exe FORCE )set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER "C:/Strawberry/c/bin/gcc.exe")set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "C:/Strawberry/c/bin/g++.exe")project("Client")enable_testing()set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-std=c++17 " )add_executable(Client main.cpp client.cpp client.h logmsg.cpp includes.h)target_link_libraries(Client wsock32 ws2_32)add_test(NAME test COMMAND Client )
