Build urho3d source on windows 10 - cmake - “Error in configuration process, project files may be invalid”

ToolmakerSteve

I am following instructions at Setting up Urho3D on Windows with Visual Studio · urho3d/Urho3D Wiki · GitHub .

downloaded current cmake.org .
run cmake-gui.exe
Where is source code: selected root folder of local repo, “C:\gh\Urho3D”.
Where to build binaries: selected a new folder I made, “C:\gh\Urho3D_build”
“Configure”
Specify generator: Visual Studio 16 2019
everything else default (use default native compilers)
Finish

result is

“Error in configuration process, project files may be invalid”

Also adds an entry (in red):

CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES Debug;Release;MinSizeRel;RelWithDebInfo

Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

See also “C:/gh/Urho3D/_build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log”.

CMakeOutput.log:

The system is: Windows - 10.0.19043 - AMD64

I don’t know how to proceed.

For source, should I instead select some subfolder?
What else could be wrong?

SirNate0

Are there any other errors shown? It’s pretty unusual for it to only say that there was an error without saying more about what caused it.

You may want to try deleting the build tree, and using one of the cmake_*.bat files to create it.

I had never previously done any build - not even the “rake” one - because I have been accessing in C# via Urho.Net .

Just tried “rake build install”. It promptly told me that the version of Windows SDK this is configured for could not be found. Sure enough, I never installed the latest SDK (or at least never told VS 2019 how to find it).

I’ll go through the tutorial on building first project using rake. Then come back to this.

ToolmakerSteve

Fixed. Uninstalled cmake. Reinstalled. Noticed that default install options DON’T add cmake to path!

Chose the option that does. Rebooted. All good.

ToolmakerSteve

Though at the end it does say

Could NOT find Doxygen (missing: DOXYGEN_EXECUTABLE)

When is that needed?

Didn’t seem to cause problem. After that it shows:

Configuring done
Generating done

Just discovered there is also an error log. Don’t know if anything here is significant:

Doxygen is used to build the documentation. If you don’t need a local copy of it then you can ignore that.

I’m not sure about the other errors, but if it generated and built successfully I wouldn’t worry about them.

JTippetts1

When CMake performs its configure step, it checks for the presence/absence of a large number of various capabilities. For many of the checks, it does this by attempting to compile/build a tiny program that uses that capability, and a failure of the test to build means that feature is not present or not supported. This is not a failure of your build process, it is just a failed check for that capability. Depending on your build platform and the presence or absence of various modules and installed tools, your project might generate many such failures. They are not meaningful to you, and do not mean that your project failed to build. All of those errors are logged to the error log, but you could pretty much live out your entire allotted span of days on this earth without caring even the slightest bit about what is actually in that error log, as long as the project itself tells you “Configuring done. Generating done.”

Doxygen is an optional tool that is used to generate the automatic API docs. If you have no need of generating those you have no need of Doxygen, and it is not an error if it can’t find it. The API docs are online and readily available, but if for some reason you can’t or won’t be online but still want access to the API documentation, you can install Doxygen and it will build a local copy of the docs for you.
