cmake error with SFML

[Bones]

Hey, I've been trying to get this to work all day.  When I press configure in cmake(gui version) it gives me the error "Error in configuration process, project files may be invalid".  I think it might have to do with the path I'm setting.  It asked me for a path when I first used the app but I haven't seen that option since.  I tried clicking add entry with a type path and setting it to my mingw\bin folder.  Then I click on that new entry in the bottom area but it still gives me that error.  I hate all this compiler and file stuff.  I just want to program.

Here's the output:

CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "MinGW Makefiles".  CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set.  You probably need to select a different build tool.

Please read the tutorial, everything is explained.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that my regular cmake app wouldn't work.  I can't figure it out even with the tutorial.  I'll keep trying today.

What is your "regular cmake app"?

All you need is to modify the PATH environment variable before running CMake, so that it contains the path to your mingw/bin directory. And it is explained in the tutorial.

Woops, I just re read it.  I was getting it mixed up with another tutorial.  I'm just not quite sure how to modify the PATH environment variable.

EDIT:Googled it.  I'll test a few things and post here if I have troubles

I'm just not quite sure how to modify the PATH environment variable.

Open a terminal, and type this:

Code: [Select]

set PATH=%PATH%;your_mingw_folder\bin
cmake-gui
I'm just copying-pasting the tutorial.

Hm another small issue.  Heh, most of my problems have to do with my infamiliarity with the windows (7) OS.

Anyways, I entered:

Code: [Select]

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files(x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin
cmake-gui

It says 'cmake-gui' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

The cmake 2.8 folder is in my Program Files(x86) folder.  Thanks for your patience.

You have to add the repository containing the binary cmake-gui (usually it's a subfolder named bin) to PATH too.

Try

Code: [Select]

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files(x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin;C:\Program Files(x86)\CMake\bin
cmake-gui

I don't have Win7 so I can't guarantee that this work right out of the box but that's the idea.

Thanks for the reply but I'm still having the same problem.  I changed CMake\bin to CMake 2.8\bin by the way.

Thanks for your patience guys!  I solved my problem...sort of.  I was only using MinGW as I was unsure if SFML 1.6 was compatible with VS 10 but now since I'm using SFML 2.0 I don't even have to look in to that.  I just built the binaries for vs 10 and I'm using that instead.  Everything worked perfectly.
