error in configuration process
Trying to compile the current windows build and I'm getting "error in configuration process, project files may be invalid" in cmake.
I've followed the build guide here http://wiki.eqemulator.org/p?Complet...er_Setup_Guide very closely but obviously I'm missing something, anything you veterans can think of that might help get me on the right path? Thanks in advance image of error: https://pasteboard.co/GHuiTSu.jpg edit, video of error: https://www.screencast.com/t/XgFcfocpye |
When you click on "configure" in Cmake, are you choosing Visual Studio 15 2017 ?
(Not the Win64 one) EDIT: Just to add something, I seen another old post, with this error, it was caused by someone installing a newer version of Visual Studio over an old one. both were unistalled and a fresh new VS installed solved the problem. |
Hey, thanks for replying.
yes, chose Visual Studio 15 2017 , not the 64bit option. This is actually a bare bones, clean os install I'm trying this on so no older version of vs was ever present. Back to the drawing board... |
Oh ok, sorry it wasn't any help. I was doing a bunch of googling, since I have never seen that particular error before.
But no such luck finding anything. |
Post the contents of your "CMakeOutput.log" file.
I'm using Cmake 3.8.0 with no problems. |

Clear your CMake cache..then, select "Options->Debug Output" and try to configure.
(Post the output if anything more than what the previous log showed.) |
I'm on the same system and I have this same problem. Exact same message in CMakeOutput as OP, even with debug output selected.
My error message in the output window looks like this... Quote:

That was the only error. Edit: Oh, my CMake version is 3.9.1, using Visual Studio 2017. |
Same problem here, I'm currently stymied on this step.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164311.aspx For the overall problem, I can only suggest down-versioning to CMake 3.8.0 until more people report this as an issue and is officially tagged. If the older version still doesn't work, post back. |

Could only get CMake 3.8.2. Installed that, got a new error that told me Visual Studio 2017 had no C++ capability on install. (The error was No CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER could be found/No CMAKE_C_COMPILER could be found)
Found and added the C++ add-on/plug-in/whatever it was to Visual Studio 2017. With that, CMake was able to build test files. All values popped up in red. I hit Configure again and it all went white with no apparent errors. To update Visual Studio, open it and go to Tools > Get Tools and Features, then select one of the options that mentions C++. I picked Desktop Development with C++ and that seems to be working, but one of the other C++ tools might also work. After that, clear your CMake cache and hit Configure again, and if it shows up in red, make sure that EQEMU_BUILD_LUA is checked and hit Configure once more. This is how far I've gotten. I'll keep going on the set-up guide, but this error is fixed for me. Hopefully I don't run into anything else weird! |
Can confirm Sorn's solution above. Downloaded CMake 3.8.2 and went into Visual Studio to download "Desktop development with C++". Compiled with no errors after that. I suspect 3.9.1 might have worked as well had I updated Visual Studio first, but haven't experimented with it.

Ok, making progress, 3rd (different) computer and I got farther than previously, here's the error message this time
Code:
CMake Error at C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.8/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:137 (message): |
Ok... I missed dependencies (yes I'm that guy)
after I installed them I got Code:
The system is: Windows - 10.0.14393 - AMD64 |
