[QUESTION] CMake Error

[bizzlesnaff]

Hey folks,

i've got a problem while i try to set up and compile my first server.
I try to set up an Trinity Server (maybe it's important).
Everytime i start "CMake-Gui", set up my Source and Build directory, click on "configure" i got an error.
If I ignore them and continue with clicking on "genrate" a window pop up:
"Error in configuration process, project Files my be invalid"
I've tried everything, install new compiler, other version of compiler, tried every single compiler from the list.
If someone know any solution, please tell me
greetings Bizzle

Your issue points to MSVC - Microsoft Visual Studio Compiler.

It states that you have an old version of Microsoft Visual Studio. You need Visual Studio 2013 (18.0) but you have version 16.0 which is your problem.

You can download the latest here http://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/d ... -windows-8

Express 2013 for Windows Desktop

You can download the latest here http://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/d ... -windows-8

Download this one, reinstalled it (was already on my system) try it again and it didn't work.
Is it possible, that an old version of Visual Studio disturb cmake?

EDIT: Did you clear the Cmake Cache before compiling it? if not, it will return such error. Also check that you have permission to make changes in those folders.

EDIT2: The other thing I can recommend, which I can't recall vaguely since it was a long time ago. The problem might be because you are using an express version of Visual Studio. If they don't work download the full version for free here: http://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/d ... -studio-vs

Can you elaborate on why it doesn't work?

A) If it says the same error message, that you need to install the latest Visual Studio, it means it hasn't been uninstalled properly.

To fully uninstall a program, you must complete the following procedure:

1) Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Uninstall Program

Even then, there could be leftovers.

2) Check %programfiles% and %appdata%
You can do this by typing Visual Studio in RUN or Start Menu search box and press Enter. It'll open the folders directly.

There is a way to check in the registry, but that is further than required. If the program is not found from here, then it is deleted.

However, if the error message is related to the Visual Studio compiler that you downloaded, you would have to directly link Cmake to the directory of the Visual Studio Compiler. However, don't do that if that's not the case.

It can't find boost.
Create an environment variable with the name BOOST_ROOT to the folder where boost is, e.g. C:/local/boost_1_57_0. Restart your computer and try it again. Worked for me this way, had the problem yesterday too.
And you could try to install the 32 and 64 bit version to the same folder. They mentioned it in the TC wiki guide, which you can find here: http://collab.kpsn.org/display/tc/Requirements
