Dave, can you check this out with a current mingw install?

Does the compiler work from the command line that you installed?

gcc foo.c

Also, you can try cmake --debug-trycompile, and run the make by hand in the CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp directory. Looks like the gcc is not working.

Compiler works fine from command line by compiling a simple program.
This is the ouput of cmake --debug-trycompile

OK, after you run with debug try-compile, then do this:


cd C:/Users/netcelli/Desktop/winverlihub/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp
make VERBOSE=1

What happens?

What if you run this command by hand:

C:\Users\netcelli\Downloads\MinGW4.4.0\bin\gcc.exe -o CMakeFiles\cmTryCompileExec.dir\testCCompiler.c.obj -c C:\Use
rs\netcelli\Desktop\winverlihub\build\CMakeFiles\CMakeTmp\testCCompiler.c
gcc.exe: CreateProcess: No such file or directory


This seems to be an issue of make not being able to run gcc.exe for some reason, un-cmake related....

Well it says:
gcc.exe: CreateProcess: No such file or directory
There is no object file inside cmTryCompileExec.dir folder.

I would try to get it down to a more simple case first. Can you run the same gcc command from the command line? Can you create a simple makefile that calls the command? It may be some odd path thing or shell thing.

Is this package available for download somewhere? I can't find winverlihub but did find verlihub but it doesnt appear to be cmake-ified.

I installed gcc-4.4 in my own mingw and I am able to configure other packages such as VTK with no problem.

Actually, is C:\MinGW\bin in your PATH? If I remove it from my path and try to configure I get the exact same errors message as your original post:

Yea it's in my patch. Btw it seems not to be cmake related so I guess it's possible to close this bug.
Sorry!
