Building issues

[rasgo-cc]

Can you elaborate a bit more on the building process?
I'm trying to build it on Windows 10, with CMake 3.4.3. After creating the "_build" directory inside the project's main folded and "cd" into it I run:
cmake ..
No errors, but after typing:
make
There's no makefile. I get this:
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

If, instead ofcmake .. I type cmake ../src, I get the following error:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:5 (include):
  include could not find load file:

    GenerateCppResourceFile


CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt:
  No cmake_minimum_required command is present.  A line of code such as

    cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.4)

  should be added at the top of the file.  The version specified may be lower
  if you wish to support older CMake versions for this project.  For more
  information run "cmake --help-policy CMP0000".
This warning is for project developers.  Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

Hi cidadao,

Have you tried running just cmake ./ when in the project's directory?

I got it to generate the make files on my mac doing that (haven't tried windows build yet).
Had the same error if trying to run cmake on the src directory.

Just tried it, but unfortunately Makefile is not generated...
I have any experience with CMake, maybe something is missing in CMakeLists.txt?

Sorry I don't have any experience with CMake either :(

I can see that GenerateCppResourceFile is defined in cmake\modules directory though. So it should be being picked up correctly and it was for me once I got the right directory specified.

One more thing to try if you haven't already, is to try using the full path to your Update-installer directory.

eg: cmake c:\Update-Installer\

That might make the references work correctly?

I'm probably going to try to build a windows version of this next week, so if you learn anything useful on the windows side let me know.

I haven't tried building this project on Windows, but I can tell you that CMake doesn't necessarily generate Makefiles (unless told otherwise) in all platforms. What results do you get in the build directory? Visual studio solution file? (.sln) The path is .. if you created a build directory inside, not ../src. There is a CMakeLists at the top.
