Hey, I was just wondering what the command is to disable build testing was, I tried what it said in the included install.text but it did not work,nor does the command to change the destination path. Any help would be great!

I assume you're using the recommended version from December 2011? Actually I think it did have some problems in this regard. I know Matt has done a lot of work on the CMake scripts recently and the version in Git seems OK for me. I suggest you try this latest version and set the ENABLE_TESTS flag to false.

If this doesn't help then also provide the output from CMake.

Well, I went into CMakeLists and manually set the enable tests flag to off like this



It did say on. Was that right? Or do I need to do it with the command? If so, what is the command? Because it still does not work. Here's the output from the console:



Thanks for your help, I am a major newb when it comes to this stuff

To configure polyvox I use ccmake (Note the extra c), it's a more visual way of changing settings, try using that to configure polyvox instead? Also make sure your cmake version isn't too old.


To use ccmake


You can also use $git status to check if you accidently made changes to polyvox which is preventing it to build. If there is use
to revert such changes.

Well, I tried in the console and it doesnt work! I have v2.8.9 installed and it says that "'$cmake' is not recognized as an internal or external etc etc"

One thing I noticed was that when I went to programs and features to see what version of cmake I had installed, there were two versions there, 2.8.6 and 2.8.9. I uninstalled one and tried to uninstall the second but it would not let me. I then reinstalled 2.8.9. Could that be a part of the problem?

You shouldn't enter the command with the $. Also the instruction I gave assumed you used linux, didn't realize you used windows. There is a graphical cmake for windows, try using that instead of the command line. I don't have a lot of experience of using cmake so I'm just guessing here.

We do need to know what version of PolyVox you are using here. In particular you should try the latest version from Git master. If you don't have Git installed then you can still download a .tar.gz using the link on the right-hand side of this page: https://www.gitorious.org/polyvox/polyv ... its/master



You shouldn't edit the CMakeLists.txt directly but instead you should specify a flag on the command line when you call cmake. Actually I don't know the syntax for this because I use the GUI instead.

As Freakazo said, there is a GUI available for Windows. Have a read here for instructions: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/runningcmake.html

Sorry, my fault for not mentioning I am on windows. The GUI I think will work out, just one thing I am not sure of, how do you set cmake_c_compiler and cmake_cxx_compiler? I use Visual Studio 10 (the free one). I know you add an entry for each one (or at least think thats what you do) I am just unsure of the filepath.

I am also using the latest GIT download, got it after I installed GIT.

Thanks for all the help I really appreciate it. Its wierd because I actually built polyvox months ago and didnt have any problems, unfortunately i lost track of it so now i need to rebuild I used the commmand line to build it back then because it was when the GUI was bugged and would not work with polyvox for some reason.

OK guys thanks a ton for all your help ! Figured it out had to delete the cache to pick a new compiler. Thanks again!
