Resolve GLM path in Windows 10 for CEGUI

Question

I'm trying to set up my system for UI development with CEGUI (v 0.8.7). That failed on missing dependency GLM. Initially, I also got a deprecation warning for CMP0045.

• I then downloaded and built GLM from source (v 0.9.9.8). CMake gave me 190 projects for GLM (all of them test projects), cmake configure and generate succeeded. I built the projects. Apparently, all of them were test projects, so I assume GLM to be header-only.

• Re-run trying to cmake configure CEGUI failed again. I then set the "missing environment variable" GLM_H_PATH manually. I tried the path where GLM's findXyz.cmake resides, the directory where the *.hpp files reside that CMake wants to include for CEGUI setup, and a ; concatenation of both. All without success. With the include path in my system env vars, I've even tried rebooting Windows before trying again.

• Another thing I tried was to add GLM_H_PATH as the path to GLM headers manually to the CMake-gui list. It just vanished on re-run of Configure.

• Because I thought maybe the space in my user name and the fact that I'd downloaded both libs to my User directory causes issues, I explicitly created a spaceless path and retried with the same result.

Can anyone please point me into the right direction as to what those two want from me to work together peacefully?

Answer 1

This morning I couldn't find the code base any more. So I downloaded a new one, this time definitely CEGUI v0.8.7.

CMake setup and C++ building worked just fine this time.

The Python tests, however, are reproducibly failing because there's a space in the project path.

I will not pursue this issue further as I can't reproduce the problem any more. For the next few months I will still keep it open in case anyone can tell me what probably went wrong.

Maybe you forgot to compile something, watch the compilation guide video

environment variable GLM_H_PATH points to the path cegui\dependencies\include\glm
