You don't need MSYS to build FluidSynth using CMake in Windows. MSYS was needed only to run "configure" and other auto-tools programs and scripts. I don't use it, so I can't provide any advice other than removing it to save disk space and headaches. MinGW provides the compilers, utils, and a gnumake port: a program named "mingw32-make.exe" that behaves a bit different than the make command provided by MSYS. You need to instruct CMake to generate the correct Makefiles, either with the command line interface using the parameter "-G" (generator), or in a much simpler way running the GUI interface (cmake-gui). The first time you press the "configure" button, or after removing the cache, it asks for the output type. Don't forget to read the FluidSynth Wiki: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/fluidsynth/wiki/BuildingWithCMake Regards, Pedro _______________________________________________ fluid-dev mailing list fluid-dev@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fluid-dev
