From the beginning.
I want to compile for windows a tiny program called Carabiner aquired from this git repository: Carabiner Git
It requires 2 main dependencies gflags and LiveLink. Not getting bogged down on what this program does, the instructions say to in git bash cd to you repository cloned directory and simply
git submodule update --init --recursive
It then says:
Carabiner uses CMake to manage its build process. Once again, from the top-level directory of your carabiner repository:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .
Once the build completes you will find the executable in bin/Carabiner under the build directory.
Now there are a couple of hurdles i had to overcome which resulted in me using Powershell and getting the furthest.
First I have to employ a bit more than just cmake ..
cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" ..
Then I had to install some more modules from MinGW to get some of the .h files, but 2 still were elusive. fnmatch.h I had to copy and paste it into many directories to find the 1 it was looking in and pthreads.h I managed to find the module I think.
So now these 2 are all part of gflags and it breaks the compiler there with no binaries created. The LiveLink doesn't even bother and the cache file ends abruptly.
The final error is pthreads_rwlock_t - failed and the cache gives it a value of 4, where I believe for success it should be 0.
If I then try to run cmake --build it says cannot read cache.
So here is the entire cmake process logs after getting the repositories:

PS C:\users\abstr\workspace\carabiner\carabiner\build> cmake --build
Usage: cmake --build <dir> [options] [-- [native-options]]
Options:
<dir> = Project binary directory to be built.
--target <tgt> = Build <tgt> instead of default targets.
May only be specified once.
--config <cfg> = For multi-configuration tools, choose <cfg>.
--clean-first = Build target 'clean' first, then build.
(To clean only, use --target 'clean'.)
--use-stderr = Ignored. Behavior is default in CMake >= 3.0.
-- = Pass remaining options to the native tool.

Additional Edit:
Taking what S.M. has answered below into account I have since tried to cd.. out of the build directory and run cmake --build build from this effective root and I get the following (which dispalays 2 errors in gflags):

make: *** [all] Error 2
Also what has not been taken into account is that fact I stated in the 1st place, this hasn't finished making all the files to build. it should build files for both gflags and link and carabiner the build directory only has upto gflags and this is obviously incomplete as the errors occur and no binaries are created.
Here are screenshots of the 2 directories, the main with both gflags and link folders and the build folder with only gflags, which you see errors above.
Please someone try to replicate this on their own machine then amybe at least we can find what's missing and where.
Thanks again
Robbie
You are trying to find error where are no errors. You run
cmake --build binin wrong way. Since your working directory is alreadybuild, you should runcmake --build .
