Building CMAKE for cygwin

问题

This is my first time using both Cygwin and cmake, I'm trying to build a project but keep getting errors.

-bash: /usr/local/bin/cmake: cannot execute binary file

The questions I have are, where should cmake be installed and how do I run it?

Where should my source code be?

Do I need anything extra to get cmake to work in Cygwin?

Here is a link to the project I am trying to run: (https://github.com/erinaceous/shadows)

回答1:

cmake is available in the Cygwin net distribution. You can install it with setup-x86*.exe; you should find it under the Devel category.

Cygwin's mirrors are not always up-to-date. To build your own from source for Cygwin (these instructions assume some version of cmake is already installed on your system, as is a compiler (eg. g++):

1. Download the latest (v3.4.1 at the time of this writing) source from CMake.org/files. Be sure to enter the folder and also enter the cygwin folder within, and download the latest version (eg. https://cmake.org/files/v3.4/cygwin/cmake-3.4.1-1.tar.bz2)

2. From cygwin, cd to the folder where you downloaded the tar.bz2 file and type:

   tar xvjf cmake-{x.y.z}.tar.bz2 #for me, the actual filename was cmake-3.4.1-1.tar.bz2
   cd cmake-{x.y.z}
   ./configure
   make
   

from there, you'll find your binaries in the ./bin folder.
