Unable to compile SFML with Cmake and mingw32-make
« on: February 05, 2019, 01:27:33 pm »
Hey there,

I'm trying to make SFML work on my Windows 10 desktop and after having so many trouble with the already compiled version, I decided to compile it myself to make sure that it would be 100% compatible with my version of GCC.

However, here again and even precisely following the tutorial on how to compile SFML with Cmake, I'm encountering a problem: I've configured Cmake with MinGW Makefiles as generator, clicked on generate such that now I have "configuring done" and "generating done" printed in the box. However, when I open Powershell and enter "mingw32-make" it tells me "mingw32-make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.".

My PATH contains both the directories for Cmake and GCC so I doubt the problem comes from here though I see no "mingw32-make.exe" executable in the Cmake folder.

Do I have to execute the command from a particular working directory (the one which contains the sources maybe ?)

Please help

Have a nice day

OK I reinstalled Everything from scratch and I may not need to compile anymore. Keeping this post opened if someone has a suggestion for future people that might come across this same problem

Of course, you must do it from the directory that contains the generated makefile, i.e. the "Where to build the binaries" path you specified in cmake-gui.

This utility is part of MinGW ("bin" sub-folder).
