CMake not finding "MinGW Makefiles"

I'm not getting cmake to work with:

allegro: 4.9.8

(edit: hummm, I see now 4.9.8 is getting pretty out of date. I also see the Allegro 4.9.10.1 binaries are available now. I think I'll try those and set up svn again. But if anyone knows about this problem please say so.)

OS: XP
gcc version 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3) from MinGW-5.1.4 bundle release- I don't think it's Vista specific despite the name and I'm not trying to make the static library.
cmake version 2.6-patch 4
DirectX 9.0c
I have installed the Direct X SDK (dxsdk_sum2004.exe)
I have not yet done anything with Trent Gamblin's (I believe it was him) dx9mgw package.

C:\allegro498\Build>sh

Did you run fixdll first, to create the defnition file? I don't know if this is the cause of the problem, but I don't see any evidence that you've done this step.

[edit: Whether you did or not, that wouldn't be the cause of the problem]

edit:

I don't think it's Vista specific despite the name and I'm not trying to make the static library.

No, it isn't Vista specific. They just renamed it that because it's the build where they fixed the bug that caused the previous 3.4.5 build to not work properly on Vista.

Is .../Mingw/bin in your path?

Is .../Mingw/bin in your path?

It doesn't need to be. All cmake does is produce a makefile for whatever compiler you specify; it never actually uses the compiler itself.

Ben: If you run cmake without any parameters, it will list the different generator names that it accepts for the -G parameters. Is "MinGW Makefiles" listed?

That confuses me, because when mingw is NOT in my path I get this error:

svnM/Build/CMakeFiles/CMakeCXXCompiler.cmake
CMake Error: CMAKE_C_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage
CMake Error: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage

Which is one of his error messages.
So it has to be in the path to work for me.

Set your path to include mingw/bin and try again.

But I'm not sure what the other errors are about. :-/

What version of cmake are you using? (I'm running 2.6 patch 1). Before i wrote my previous post, I removed both the MINGDIR variable, and the PATH entry for MinGW, and it generates the files for me:

I don't know how it knew where to find the compiler, unless it checks c:\mingw\bin by default, but it found mine without it being specified anywhere.

Same version here.
That it checks the default path seems the only thing that explains this behavior. ???

EDIT:
no, i'm stupid.
cmake version 2.6-patch 2 here

Thomas Fjellstrom

patch 2 is broken for some reason.

Try using cmake-gui instead of cmake. It should have MinGW Makefiles and MSYS Makefiles. Its also a lot easier to configure the options with the gui ;)

I had no problems yet. Besides I have to put mingw in my path which I didn't interpret as cmake beeing broken.

I couldn't get patch2 cmake to see my mingw install at all. nothing I tried worked. Instead I just use cmake-gui and things just worked.

Thanks for the replies.

No, I didn't. fixdll.bat gives me:

and fixdll.sh is not recognized. Do I need to set up cygwin do do this?

User Environment Variables:

MINGDIR: c:\MinGW

(No relevant system variables.)

Changes to the system environment are written to the registry, and usually require a restart to become effective.

Oh, I'd forgotten if reset was necessary on XP and figured it wasn't based on the time taken to accept changes when I clicked "OK" on the dialog. I'm not sure if my last reset was relevantly recent or not so I'll be trying that now....

The gui gives me the same problems as the console.

At the very least you need to open a new cmd console.

You don't need to worry about the .sh file. You will need a copy of sed though. There's a Win32 version avaliable here.

No, XP doesn't need to be restarted. As Thomas stated, all you need to do with XP is start a new console. If you want to check that it is indeed recognising the enviornment variables, just try entering echo %MINGDIR%. If it doesn't respond with C:\MinGW then something is wrong.

Do'h! Sorry guys, I thought my MinGW was clean but I'd changed one thing. I came across this note in my mingw bin folder:

"Ben- you renamed mingw32-make to just make.exe"

That'll do it. Well, I can't have been the only one to have done that when they made the switch to the new naming convention but why didn't I just make a copied version? Anyway that looks like my main problem. There's an awful lot of not founds down there but they might be okay or I'll figure it out. Thanks again.

The only ones you should worry about are the ones that start with WARNING:. the header checks and stuff above aren't particularly important.
