No "CmakeList.txt" under build folder #10

Closed DLyons closed 8 years ago

When following this step of the build instructions:

Open a command prompt and change to the build directory in the source archive. Type: cmake -G "Visual Studio 12" .

The following error is thrown;

Make Error: The source directory "D:/Projects/sb7code/build" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.

Despite there being a file named

!RUN CMAKE FROM HERE.txt

However running it from the root directory works.

Why did you add """ right after ..? It should work without """. If you intended to add cmake options then you should at least put a space between .. and the options like cmake -G "Visual Studio 12" .. -DSOME_OPTION=VALUE.

Triple quotes were a typo.

jslee02 commented 8 years ago

Please try with this command:

cmake -G "Visual Studio 12" ..

You should use .. instead of ..

DLyons commented 8 years ago

Ahh well spotted, my mistake entirely.

do the periods make any difference?
