MinGW cmake error

[bolunfeng]

hi:
I want to compile openssl-cmake on window7 platform.when I run this command:
D:\software\openssl-cmake>cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=D:\software\openssl-cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug -G "MinGW Makefiles" .

I get some error:

-- Detecting CXX compile features - done
-- OpenSSL version 1.1.1b
CMake Error at D:/software/gt_compress/3thparty/win_lib/CMake/share/cmake-3.9/Modules/CheckIncludeFile.cmake:46 (configure_file):
configure_file attempted to configure a file:

D:/software/gt_compress/3thparty/win_lib/CMake/share/cmake-3.9/Modules/CheckTypeSize.cmake:223 (check_include_file)

I need your help.thanks.

Hi, to build native libs you should prefer to use the default generator for ms-windows like below:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM=x64 -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=D:\software\openssl-cmake ../
cmake --build . --config Debug --target install

To compile 32 bits binaries you have to remove the option "CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM".

Else I never tried using make of mingw on windows. todo.

Regarding the message returned by CMake, it seems you CANNOT build the project in the source folder. So probably you have to MKDIR the folder build, then CD build, and finally launch the build.

thanks. I have mkdir a folder.then I run this command:

1. openssl-cmake\build>cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=D:\software\install -G "MinGW Makefiles" ..\
2. then,make:
   this step get a error:

how can I fix it?

[janbar]

You tried to build with a windows sdk to old (xp), and not supported by openssl. So you have to upgrade your sdk, getting the latest visual studio community edition. An other solution is to define WINVER=0x501 as follow if your are sure using a sdk compatible with win2000 platform:

cmake .... -DWINVER=0x501 ...

but not guarantee :). A better way should be to upgrade your windows os to the latest (10) which is a bit more comptable with POSIX.

Tanks for your patience!I think I have found the error.
This project can be build successfully in release mode.
cmake -G "CodeBlocks - MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON ..
then,make .

However,in debug mode,cmake -G "CodeBlocks - MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON ..\ ,I get the error:
