I'm not sure if this should be posted here or if I should go upstream to cmake.org but I was compiling an application that uses cmake/ccmake and can be compiled on Windows/Linux/MingW/Cygwin and so on. Not a lot of folks try it on Cygwin so I have been stumbling over some of the issues. Anyways - one of its checks is to look for wxWidgets which I don't have and don't believe is a package for Cygwin anyways but cmake kept insisting it was on D:/wxWidgets....Some directory which appears to a default in the FindwxWidgets.cmake script.
Digging deeper and googling for various info I found this in the script: #===================================================================== #===================================================================== IF(WIN32) SET(WIN32_STYLE_FIND 1) ENDIF(WIN32) IF(MINGW) SET(WIN32_STYLE_FIND 0) SET(UNIX_STYLE_FIND 1) ENDIF(MINGW) IF(UNIX) SET(UNIX_STYLE_FIND 1) ENDIF(UNIX) where apparently the STYLE_FIND variables control whether it searches (Win32/Registry) or uses the wxWidget config file (Unix). If I understand what I seem to have seen in config scripts for Cygwin before - in Cygwin both WIN32 and CYGWIN are set just as above it appears they are in MINGW. When I added this code: IF(CYGWIN) SET(WIN32_STYLE_FIND 0) SET(UNIX_STYLE_FIND 1) ENDIF(CYGWIN) right after the MINGW routine that stopped cmake from finding wxWidget or defaulting. Just thought I would pass this on for the cmake maintainer. bk -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
