A general hint: make sure to provide as much information as possible. Specifically: Provide the *complete* console output of each command (or at least the ones that fail). Collect them in txt file(s) and attach them to the mail.
Additionally I need to know: - What architecture are you operating on? (x86_64)? - What version of fluidsynth are you trying to build? > CMake Error: Could not create named generator MSYS Makefiles This error may occur when the wrong cmake is called (e.g. the one of the MSYS installation). Execute which -a cmake in the cygwin shell to verify. Attach it's output if you are unsure. Also, in addition to the strange behaviour you described in 1), I suspect your MSYS / CygWin setup is broken. It could be that something got mixed up. I suggest you uninstall both, MSYS and CygWin, through the uninstaller. Additionally you should manually clean up all leftover directories and files of both. Also make sure your system's %PATH% environment variable does not contain any MSYS or CygWin paths any more. Also remove the native cmake that way. After that, decide for either MSYS or CygWin or native cmake, install it for all users and make sure to add it to the system's PATH variable. Note that any application built with cygwin is no native windows build as it will depend on cygwin libraries. However: Unless you have good reasons to use MSYS or Cygwin, I would recommend that you give the MinGW method a try. > I also tried downloading the native cmake program for windows, but midway > through the cmake process it couldn't complete because there was a problem > with the source files. This is way too vague. Which command(s) did you enter and what errors occur?
