Greetings,
I'm new to CMake, so please forgive this basic question.
I'd like to use CMake to build OpenCV on Windows 7 using the C and C++ compilers that come with my
installation of MinGW. I compile all my other code with GCC compilers, from the command line of the
MSYS Bash shell, so I figure I can be certain to link OpenCV to my existing code if I compile with
GCC compilers.
I installed the Windows GUI of CMake and I told it to use the MinGW C and C++ compilers. I point
CMake at my OpenCV directory and a build directory. When I press configure, I get this error:
Selecting Windows SDK version to target Windows 6.1.7601.
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:64 (project):
Failed to run MSBuild command:
MSBuild.exe to get the value of VCTargetsPath:
The system cannot find the file specified
Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "F:/OpenCV/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
If my understanding of CMake is correct, this error cannot not come directly from CMake, but rather
is caused by OpenCV asking for MSBuild. But I can find no instance of the styring "MSBuild" in the
OpenCV diretory tree. So my understanding must be wrong.
Why is CMake looking for MSBuild? Can I build on Windows using compilers of my
choice?
Yours, Kevan
