CMAKE Error

[Hockyplr]

I have been following the new guide on how to setup my own server. I am running into an error with cmake, and I am hoping I can receive some help here.

I plan on running this Everquest Server on a brand new install of Windows Server 2012 R2, everything has been updated.

I am running all software packages suggested within the guide, with the exception, I am not using Xampp, so a stand alone MYSQL server.

I receive the following error within Cmake when I attempt to compile:

Build FAILED.

Here is the error code I receive within the lower pane of Cmake:

Below I will paste the entire error log from cmake. I thank everyone who looks at this post and helps with a solution.

Did you copy the dependencies in? It says zlib is missing. Other that, which flavour of visual studio 2012 was it that you installed? It's not finding the c++ libraries. (I'm no cmake expert though!)

[Hockyplr]

Yes I have the dependencies folder created with the four files residing in said folder. My path is:

C:\EQ\Source\dependencies

With that folder are the following folders:


boost
luaj_x86
mysql_x86
zlib_x86.

I am using Visual Studio Express 2013, and selecting VS 12 within Cmake. The Cmake version I am using is the latest 2.8.12.2, and I even tried an older version of cmake, received same error.

[Hockyplr]

As I have been looking into this, it seems that Cmake is NOT grabbing default locations and thus the compiler is failing. For example, can anyone tell me what location to point to for this:

CMAKE_LINKER

[Maze_EQ]

did joo run as admin

[Hockyplr]

Yes, as I am running actual server software, I am logged in as the administrator when doing all of these functions.

[moofta]

1) try repairing your vs2013 installation, if that doesn't work:-
2) Try installing http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/wind.../bg162891.aspx , or repair it if already installed. if that doesn't work:-
3) Open up the VS2013 developer command prompt (not the normal one) and then type

"set lib"

and post the contents here.

[Hockyplr]

Moofta,

First let me thank you for the great guide to follow in learning to set up my own server. second, thank you for the continued support you give to us new people.

After installing the SDK, everything worked within Cmake without any errors. I am on to the next steps........

[Hockyplr]

Ok I am using VS 2013 Express, per the guide, and when it opens the EQEmu.sln file, on the right side it says the file is incompatible with this version of VS.....

Ideas?

[joligario]

With all your previous problems, I recommend deleting the build directory, clearing out the CMAKE cache, and starting the generate process over.

[Hockyplr]

Joligario, thanks for the suggestion. I tried that twice, and still failed. Here is a link to a screen shot of VS 2013 and the incompatible portion:

Make sure that you select 'visual studio 12' for your compiler. I believe there are 3 versions listed (x64 and arm are the other two.)

You want the basic compiler, if you're building x86.

[Hockyplr]

Uleat, Yes I did select the basic compiler of VS 12.

Really weird it says the wrong version....

[Hockyplr]

Okay, deleted the Build directory, cleared the cache, even deleted all source files including Dependencies and re-downloaded them all. Screenshot one shows the configure up to LUA.

Screenshot 2 shows the LUA

http://prntscr.com/3aqu3m

Screenshot 3 shows the generate:

Thanks again everyone. I WILL get this done!

[Uleat]

I spoke to one of the dev's about the 'unknown version' problem and they are aware of it.

It doesn't, however, keep you from generating a solution and opening it in vs 2013.


If you are (still) getting fatal errors, there's definitely something else going on...


EDIT: I just saw your screenshots... go back and redo cmake..this time, click configure twice. There was a red line indicating that a configuration option had not been set.
