CMake error in Windows 8

Hello all,

Trying to use the new Windows Guide & I'm running into a CMake problem:

Code:

The C compiler identification is unknown

The CXX compiler identification is unknown

Looking for include file stdint.h

CMake Error at C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeCInformation.cmake:37 (get_filename_component):

  get_filename_component called with incorrect number of arguments

Call Stack (most recent call first):

  CMakeLists.txt:3 (PROJECT)





CMake Error: Internal CMake error, TryCompile configure of cmake failed

Looking for include file stdint.h - not found

CMake Error at C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:97 (message):

  Could NOT find ZLIB (missing: ZLIB_LIBRARY ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR)

Call Stack (most recent call first):

  C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:291 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE)

  C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindZLIB.cmake:85 (FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS)

  CMakeLists.txt:139 (FIND_PACKAGE)





Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I've never used CMake, so I'm not familiar with this. I did take a look at the CMake config file in C:\EQ\Source and changed the ZLIB folder from a relative path to a fixed path (i.e., changed

Code:

SET(ZLIB_ROOT "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/dependencies/zlib_x86")

Code:

SET(ZLIB_ROOT "$c:/EQ/Source/dependencies/zlib_x86")

And still received the same error. I've also uninstalled every program installed and double-checked to make sure I'm running the 32-bit versions of MySQL, Cmake, and ActivePerl; I did not have an option to get the 32-bit version of VS Express, which I've also uninstalled and reinstalled, as well.

I looked in the forums, but the only other thread I found was for a person to go to the G00GLE code area and to download and unzip the file into c:\EQ\Source\dependencies, which I have done twice.

Any help appreciated =).

Okay, I've verified that the stdint.h exists in:

Code:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\include

I've also verified that cmake is looking in the correct spot for the compilers and I made sure that the zlib_x86 and mysql_x86 are not empty.

Banging my head against the wall on this one...

Version of CMake?

Not all 2.8 are equal: 2.8.10 I believe is the earliest to support MSVC11.

I have:

Code:

cmake-2.8.10.2-win32-x86.exe

I followed the download links from the wiki and grabbed everything the guide said a couple of times.

Thanks for replying =)

Windows 8 uses 64-bit. I compile using Release x64 and use Visual Studio 10 Win64 in CMake, thought it would be beneficial to know that Windows 8 isn't 32-bit.

As far as I know, my OS is 64-bit & I have several 32-bit programs installed. They installed without issue or errors.

I am running Bitdefender Antivirus, turning it off when I install these programs.

Okay it's going to get a little scary if you don't like the command line but lets try something... You should have a program: VS2012 x86 Native Tools Command Prompt. Under Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 -> tools, not entirely sure where it is on Win8 but if you search for VS2012 it should come up.

Should open something like:

Code:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC>

Run the cl command with /? as an argument, eg:

Code:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC>cl /?

That should bring up a lot of info and a lot of hit enter to continue screens. As well as starting off with something like...

Code:

Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 17.00.51106.1 for x86

If it doesn't you need to reinstall VS.

If it's installed correctly try instead:

Code:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC>cmake-gui

That will launch the cmake gui with all the VC Vars set and hopefully it will be able to find it.

Your OS being 64 bit is irrelevant to whether you compile a 32 or 64 bit sever. Easily 50% of the applications on your computer are 32 bit, including visual studio itself.

@KLS

Thank you; I tried the cl /? and received the following:

Code:

Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 17.00.50727.1 for x86

...

I started cmake-gui from the command line and it opened. I then tried to configure again and receive the same error. I hit configure a second time and a pop-up appeared:

Code:

Error in configuration process, project files may be invalid

The second time I hit the Configure button, this is what I received in the message window:

Code:

The C compiler identification is unknown

The CXX compiler identification is unknown

EDIT: I forgot to add that I'm very familiar with bash CL and somewhat familiar with Windows, if that helps =)

I'll be honest I don't know.

I've never really heard of such an issue, something somewhere is misconfigured is all I know as one of our team members was definitely compiling on Win8 with VC11 when i was writing the CMake files with no issue.

I have the same error, you saved me a lot of typing. Hopefully I can come up with something. I'll check back if anything arises.

I have VS Pro 2012 and run win8. I will try it out. I normally build for VS Pro 2010

I fixed mine.
Same error, similar problem possibly.
(although I'm not on Windows 8 )

I run Vista and VS2012 is not supported.
I installed VS2010 and it built fine.

@Prolefeed

Thanks, I might try that out; I've since removed Windows 8 from my system & reinstalled Linux, I might think about running Windows 7 and trying to get the server up & running.

Set the paths manually.

I followed the guide, since I've never used cmake, found the same errors, can't even compile due to pthread.h, windows.h and winsock.h

im having the same prob with zlib

ok you fix zlib prob going here and pull Complete package, except sources from here http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/zlib.htm

Sorry to necro, but I had this error on windows 7 64bit. I got past this by installing the 32 bit dependencies, instead of the 64-bit, my guess is that since cmake is 32bit only on windows, and therefore expects 32 bit Zlib dependency. Hope it helps
