can't build zdoom properly

[Guest]

I am trying to generate my project in visual studio but it is quite difficult for me since I have no experience with cmake.

You shouldn't need to do anything. Just enter the path to the project, a path to where you want to generate the VS solution, then click configure, do this again and then click generate.
After that you should have a working VS solution in the directory you specified.

However, to actually run the generated EXE you need the DLLs from the latest release so you'll have to download that.

Source code directory should be gzdoom-master, not src.

CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt:
  No project() command is present.  The top-level CMakeLists.txt file must
  contain a literal, direct call to the project() command.  Add a line of
  code such as

    project(ProjectName)

  near the top of the file, but after cmake_minimum_required().

  CMake is pretending there is a "project(Project)" command on the first
  line.
This warning is for project developers.  Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

  Add the installation prefix of "ZMusic" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "ZMusic_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "ZMusic"
  provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
  installed.

I already explained what the problem is in my previous post.

Your setup should be something resembling this:



Having the build folder inside the gzdoom checkout should be optional, but I've noticed that sometimes it just works better doing it that way. Nevertheless, this works perfectly and has never caused me problems. The Windows version of the GZDoom source code can be configured out-of-the-box with literally nothing more than Git, CMake, the Windows SDK, and some recent version of Visual Studio.

do you have to add each entry manually? i mean CMAKE_FORMAT_CMD , BUILD_SHARED_LIBS , DYN_OPNAL etc

[Rachael]

No, those are auto generated.

guys ! . i've got it, i change destination path to cmake /gzdoom-master/cmake but now i've got a new problem while compiling in visual studio..

my cmake right now

You have to set the paths for the EXE and the working directory manually in the debugger settings. CMake doesn't do it automatically. We once had a script to fill these in, but it caused more damage than good so it was removed once we found out.

Why are you insisting on using the subfolders? Both me and mental told you not to do that. I even showed you a screenshot of a perfectly working CMake generation - where the source was pointed right at the root of the checkout - where it should be.

The only subfolder you should ever use is one designated specifically for building (i.e. "build") - and it should not be an existing folder in the checkout - the source folder should always point to the root of the source checkout or unpack. You will have to make this folder on your own - it does not come with the git checkouts. You can build directly into the root source folder if you want to but - that is not recommended and it is very messy. But it is supposed to work.

Don't expect to be able to modify GZDoom at all if you can't follow this simple instruction.

then should i create a "build" folder ? , the problem is that i did it before and it doesn't work , i think because makefiles weren't there

Again - let me reiterate.

The SOURCE goes to the ROOT of the checkout - i.e.

Code: Select all

c:\users\you\documents\gzdoom

The BUILD goes to an EMPTY FOLDER - i.e.

Code: Select all

c:\users\you\documents\gzdoom\build

Get into the habit of this too - because this is very standard and expected behavior for nearly all CMake-based projects.
