I have CMake working perfectly fine with Visual Studio 2015. I wanted to try VS Code with C++ and CMake extensions, but when I try to call the build command (configured to F7 by default with the CMake extension for VSCode), I only get the message:
command 'cmake.build' not found
Is it trying to tell me it can't find CMake ? Because Cmake is installed and working so... I also tried changing in the settings to the full path to cmake with no success. I installed both CMake and CMake Tools from Extensions. Also the toolbar for CMake doesn't appear on the blue VSCode toolbar as shown in CMake Tools extension doc.
Edit:
The author of that extension believes they've resolved this issue in the latest version 0.9.7.
https://github.com/vector-of-bool/vscode-cmake-tools/issues/157#issuecomment-307005140
So, I've just pushed 0.9.7:
No more dependency on twxs.cmake, so that shouldn't be causing any
issues anymore
#ytimenkov fixed some version parsing code that was
lying about what version of CMake was installed. Should fix issues
people are seeing with pre-3.7 versions.
#ytimenkov added better
errors when initialization failed. This should help create future
tickets!
As such, I'm going to close this issue and ask that anyone
with any further issues open a new ticket using the new error messages
that appear during a failed initialization.
I too had this issue and was given a solution here in my ticket.
For some people, one of their dependencies isn't getting installed correctly on our system. So you need to install another additional extension to get it to work.
It's called "CMake" or "twxs.cmake" (actual package name) and can be found here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=twxs.cmake
If it still isn't working, some have reported that they needed to uninstall both extensions then reinstall them both to get it to work--making sure to restart VSCode.
try this:
create a new copy of "mingw32-make.exe".
rename the copy to "make.exe".
restart your vscode.

I am trying to compile C++ project in Qt creator using CMake, but get a message:
error: CMake 3.1 or higher is required. You are running version 3.0.2
In terminal cmake --version gives 3.7.0, which cmake gives /usr/local/bin/cmake. In Qt creator I go
Tools>Options>CMake
but the version under /usr/local/bin/cmake is auto-detected and set as default. And of course the project won't compile if I just manually lower the required version (I tried).
I don't get what else can be wrong. Maybe the problem is somewhere else?
Please check the output in the "General Messages" output pane at the bottom of the window (you might need to enable that with the small button on the right next to the list of panes).
Creator will show what it runs there. Is it indeed using the expected cmake? If not: Change it in Tools>Options>Build & Run>Kits.
Thanks to #NicolasHolthaus I realized i just had two working versions of CMake installed on my machine. I deleted both, then reinstalled one and now everything works.
I've just installed IntelliJ on Windows 8 (and 7). I then use the 'Java Hello World' Sample as my project.
I then selected the JDK that was installed (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10). Project creates successfully and I can see all the classes associated with the project etc. When I "make the project" I get the following error:
Compilation completed with 1 error and 0 warnings in 2 sec
1 error
0 warnings
java: Cannot find JDK '1.7' for module 'TEST'
No matter what I do I cannot compile any Java code under Windows8/IntelliJ
I have tried the following:
Invalidating cache.
Switching to 32bit JDK instead of 64bit
Idea64.exe instead of idea.exe
Installing 1.6 incase it was a 1.7 issue??
Changed the JAVA_HOME to point to different versions (ie currently C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10)
I'm lost as to why this is happening.
project structure > project > choose correct jdk
or ctrl+alt+shift+s > project> choose correct jdk
also platform settings > SDK's >and make sure 1.7 is there.
Found the root of the problem. Turns out Windows 8 under parallels shares the same Desktop as OSX. This confused IntelliJ somehow and as a result it couldn't compile properly.
In parallels by removing the "Desktop" shared under Configure this then resolves the issue.
In case you want to still share the documents & desktop, the solution is to modify the idea.properties file (for instance, under C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 12.1\bin\idea.properties ), and change the following properties to point to different a location that is specific to the OS in which you are working:
idea.config.path=
idea.system.path=
idea.plugins.path=
idea.log.path=
I also copied the previous folder (on my computer it was under
\\psf\Home\.IntelliJIdea12
) to the new location to preserve all settings.
Update: I had the same problem after I installed IntelliJ Idea 13. I moved the .IntelliJIdea13 folder to c:\Users\costa from \\psf\Home, then I modified the C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 13.0\bin\idea.properties file:
idea.config.path=C:/Users/costa/.IntelliJIdea13/config
idea.system.path=C:/Users/costa/.IntelliJIdea13/system
idea.plugins.path=C:/Users/costa/.IntelliJIdea13/config/plugins
idea.log.path=C:/Users/costa/.IntelliJIdea13/system/log
I made the error while editing idea.properties to leave a whitespace at the end of my personally added idea.config.path=../.IdeaIC/config line.
This resulted exactly in the Cannot find JDK '...' for module error message.
I needed to "trim" the line manually, just deleted the whitespace, restarted IntelliJ and everything worked fine again.
I found this while scanning the idea.log file where I found java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Software\IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition 14.1.3\.IdeaIC\config \tasks\root.contexts.zip
In my case, Idea said "Failed to save settings" (probably due to a lot of projects being open. After that, it could not run tests with "Cannot find JDK '1.8' for module XXX" message. Idea restart solved the issue for me.
I believe this is an IntelliJ bug.
This isn't a fix, but you can work around this by going to Settings > Compiler, and disabling 'Use External Build'.
It seems that sometimes Intellij (or the user:-)) is getting confused when importing settings, especially if you change the paths where the jdk resides (for me it happened during a migration to a new Linux environment).
The only way I could correct this was to delete the user's settings folder.
In Linux :
I removed the folder (and subfolders): ~/.IntelliJIdea12/
Of course this would remove the saved settings, licenses e.t.c.
I've now been trying to get MinGW-w64 to work on my system for several days, mainly because it has a more recent GCC version, but I either set things up wrong or there's some strange problem with MinGW-w64 itself.
I've now downloaded i686-w64-mingw32-gcc-4.7.2-release-win32_rubenvb, unpacked it to C:/Dev/mingw-ruben and added the path C:/Dev/mingw-ruben/bin to the $PATH environment variable.
What I'm trying to build is SFML 2 which comes with a CMake file. Running CMake will work just fine, the compiler gets recognized and passes all test. CMake also finds the ar.exe in the C:/Dev/mingw-ruben/binfolder. After generating the MinGW Makefile I switch to the windows command line and run mingw32-make install.
There's where the problem happens, I get the error:
mingw-ruben\bin\ar.exe: mingw-ruben/lib/libopengl32.a: No such file or directory
Or for the network library
mingw-ruben\bin\ar.exe: mingw-ruben/lib/libws2_32.a: No such file or directory
The error seems quite obvious and on check there really is no libopengl32.a or libws2_32.a in mingw-ruben/lib/, but the files is actually located in C:/Dev/mingw-ruben/i686-w64-mingw32/lib.
Now How can I tell ar/make/cmake to not only search in the mingw-ruben/lib directory but also in the mingw-ruben/i686-w64-mingw32/lib?
Would it be a good idea to copy all the content from the i686-w64-mingw32 subfolder to the mingw-ruben root folder?
As a side note: I can call mingw32-make install again and the procedure will continue but up on trying to link my application against SFML, I run into many unresolved symbol errors for the glXYZ functions from within SFML.
Further information: I'm on Windows 8 x64, but I think that doesn't really matter and yes I've tried MSYS but it doesn't resolve any of my issues.
Am I doing something wrong? Do I have to configure things specially?
January 2015 Edit
Now that SFML 2.2 has been released, this is no longer an issue and you have to link SFML's dependencies yourself when linking static.
January 2014 Edit
As of commit 165f2b1888 and f784fe4c07, which is included in the stable version SFML 2.1, MinGW-w64 compilers are supported.
However while discussing further with different parties it came to light, that the sfml_static_add_libraries marco a rather ugly hack was. In short it unpacked the static dependencies and included their obj files into the SFML library itself. This was most noticeable an issue, when trying to use your own version of GLEW, which failed since SFML was using its internal one already. The issue was brought to the forum and was pushed around for quite a bit, until Laurent finally gave in and went with the proper way of linking dependencies, which means you have to link them now on your own.
As of commit dbf01a775b, which is not included in the stable version of SFML 2.1, one has to link the SFML dependencies in the finally application, when linking statically against SFML.
Original
After some chat on the IRC we've figured it out.
It has nothing to do with MinGW but it's all SFML's fault. To reduce the dependencies list for SFML while linking statically the developer decided to manually extract the symbols from each library (opengl32, ws2_32, ...) which obviously isn't how one does things and violates some ODR rules. The actual error then occurs because the developer assumed that the library will be in the folder mingw/libbut with MinGW w64 it's located in a seperate directory mingw/version/lib and so ar.exe didn't find the library.
Solution
Removing the call to the sfml_static_add_libraries macro and then recompile. Afterwards you'll have to link all the dependencies for static linkages, like it should be.
I think it may be well a problem of the gcc distribution you downloaded.
A bit of light into the problem gives ruben's question here:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/45277/executing-binary-file-file-not-found
that seems to me related to that (although it is about linux and not win)
I was having a similar problem (the name of the missing file was different) few months ago with gcc 4.7.0 linux->win crosscompiler. So until now I lived with the standard ubuntu mingw-w64 package and only yesterday I gave another try to i686-w64-mingw32-gcc-4.7.2-release-linux64_rubenvb.tar.xz and it works without issues in otherwise same environment where the previous version was failing with "..ar.exe: ... no such file". Sometimes I develop also in windows, then I use http://www.mingw.org/ that was for me much easier to setup in Win. It supports only 32bit target but for my project it is sufficient.
I can be a real dummy when it comes to following instructions sometimes, pardon me. I'm in a bit of a hurry to get YAML files working with my program. I have downloaded the YAML files from the official site, I have downloaded an installed the latest CMake. What do i do now? I don't understand DLL creation nor the issues that there seem to be.
When I open CMake I put in the path to the extracted yaml-cpp-0.2.7 folder with the yaml-cpp.pc.cmake file and I set up the build path. Is there anything else I should do here? I get this error:
CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to ""Visual Studio 9 2008"". CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set. You probably need to select a different build tool.
CMake Error: Could not find cmake module file:C:/path/yaml-cpp-0.2.7/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeCCompiler.cmake
CMake Error: Could not find cmake module file:C:/path/yaml-cpp-0.2.7/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeCXXCompiler.cmake
Also once i'm done with this what should I do next to be able to launch the example code from the site? Which configuration should I use to be able to launch the file on VS Express 2010? I'm stuck, I can't find answers anywhere.
I have made a mistake here, i tried to get the CMake file going on a computer which didn't have the IDE installed, i installed VC++ 2010 and it works now.
I loaded the yaml-cpp solution into VC++ 2010, bulit it, linked everything and it works fine now.
Well I've recently come out of the dark ages and upgraded my GCC from 3.4.4 to 4.5.0 with Cygwin (I use Netbeans 6.8 on Windows for future reference). I tried testing the new compiler by attempting to run a simple program through it. The run failed however, citing that NetBeans "cannot find -lstdc++".
Interesting.
I look in ...
C:\cygwin\lib\gcc\i686-pc-cygwin\4.5.0
...where libstdc++.a, libstdc++.dll.a, libstdc++.la, libsupc++.a, and libsupc++.la are supposed to be (they're in that spot in the 3.4.4 folder), and they're not there. I also notice something else: there's a 4.3.4 folder in...
C:\cygwin\lib\gcc\i686-pc-cygwin
which contains these exact files! Good. So I copy them in to the 4.5.0 folder and try to run the program again. This time i'm getting two other errors:
build/Debug/Cygwin-Windows/extract_fail_operations.o:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.5.0/include/c++/bits/stl_list.h:1435: undefined reference to `std::_List_node_base::_M_hook(std::_List_node_base*)'
and:
build/Debug/Cygwin-Windows/extract_fail_operations.o:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.5.0/include/c++/bits/stl_list.h:1451: undefined reference to `std::_List_node_base::_M_unhook()'
At this point I figured that I was way over my head and decided to come for help before copying and pasting any more files. If anyone could tell me how to get this working, i'd be really appreciative.
(If any solutions involve the command line, please be warned that i'm not well versed in it... you may have to provide extra details that you wouldn't need to to other SO users!)
EDIT: The PATH variables are as follows:
C:\Program Files\SSH Communications Security\SSH Secure Shell;C:\Program Files\CVSNT\;C:\cygwin\bin
And yes, the Cygwin installed is the latest from the site.
You need to install version 4.5.0 of libstdc++6-devel.
