Hi, I'm using CMake for Windows as I was informed that I couldn't use
`make` as the CMakeLists.txt file was only for CMake.
Within CMake for Windows I select the location of the source code which
is the cloned repository which include the CMakeLists.txt file that I
want to compile, followed by I select a folder where to build the
binaries; I'm then prompt for a generator for the project. Up to this
point am I doing this correctly ?
Thank You

typical usage would be something like (assuming you are at repo root) :
mkdir mybuild && cd mybuild
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
cmake —build .
you can also opt to configure cmake (the equivalent of the first cmake command
above) using a GUI like ccmake or cmake-gui if you prefer. The cmake build type
can be changed depending on your needs. If the project depends on other
libraries/tools, you might need to install those before building.
HTH,
Mike

Hi, I'm a beginner to CMake and for weeks I've been trying to compile a CMake
file which I found on a github repository. All I can say is I have a
CMakeLists.txt file but I don't know how to compile and I hope someone can help
?
