Author Topic: CMake configuration problem? (Read 1303 times)

Hi,

I've created the SFML (latest revision) project files using CMake and the options BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=disabled and STATIC_STD_LIBS=enabled.

For more details, check this screenshot of the generator:

When I compile the project files, I still get DLLs and nothing with an "-s" in the name. Can someone tell me what I have missed?

Have you tried with the "NMake makefiles" generator instead of Visual Studio?

Not yet, I guess I'll need to have NMake installed for that.. I'll try it out.
But why isn't it working the easy way?

NMake is the make program of Visual C++. It is already installed

It's just a way to test if you did something wrong, or if there's a bug in the SFML makefiles (I never test with the Visual Studio generator).

By the way, nmake (or any other make program) is the easy way for compiling something. IDEs are good for editing; but for compiling, the command line is all you need.

Ok, it gives the same result with less compiling-garbage-files. I executed "nmake" within the folder where the Makefile was created by CMake. (no additional parameters)

Ok, so you're doing something wrong.

Did you click Configure again after changing the CMake options?

No, thanks for the information

It does now produce the correct result.
