cmake isnt working

[meowgoober]

im on fedora linux and whenever i try to run cmake it just does this dorker@fedora:~/midiplayer/build$ cmake .. -- The C compiler identification is GNU 13.2.1 -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 13.2.1 -- Detecting C compiler ABI info -- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc - skipped -- Detecting C compile features -- Detecting C compile features - done -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ - skipped -- Detecting CXX compile features -- Detecting CXX compile features - done CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:13 (find_package): By not providing "Findfmt.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "fmt", but CMake did not find one.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "fmt" (requested version 8.0.0) with any of the following names:

fmtConfig.cmake
fmt-config.cmake

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

Hello, thanks for the report! Did you install dependencies?

i think its trying to find a package configuratine file by SFML dorker@fedora:~/Music/midiplayer$ mkdir build cd build cmake .. -- The C compiler identification is GNU 13.2.1 -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 13.2.1 -- Detecting C compiler ABI info -- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc - skipped -- Detecting C compile features -- Detecting C compile features - done -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ - skipped -- Detecting CXX compile features -- Detecting CXX compile features - done -- Version: 10.2.1 -- Build type: CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:20 (find_package): By not providing "FindSFML.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "SFML", but CMake did not find one.

Hmm, maybe try to build & install SFML from source and then set that CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to your install location (/usr/local/ probably) cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local

[sppmacd]

Also I'm not sure if you really installed all dependencies... did you run sudo dnf -y install fmt SFML rtmidi or something like that?

[meowgoober]

Never mind. i distro hopped to pop and got all packages working. Thanks for your help tho!
