Ошибка cmake error at the c compiler

Those error messages

CMake Error at ... (project):
    No CMAKE_C_COMPILER could be found.
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also ".../CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
See also ".../CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log".

or

CMake Error: your CXX compiler: "CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER-NOTFOUND" was not found.
Please set CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name.
...
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

just mean that CMake was unable to find your C/CXX compiler to compile a simple test program (one of the first things CMake tries while detecting your build environment).

The steps to find your problem are dependent on the build environment you want to generate. The following tutorials are a collection of answers here on Stack Overflow and some of my own experiences with CMake on Microsoft Windows 7/8/10 and Ubuntu 14.04.

Preconditions

• You have installed the compiler/IDE and it was able to once compile any other program (directly without CMake)

  • You e.g. may have the IDE, but may not have installed the compiler or supporting framework itself like described in Problems generating solution for VS 2017 with CMake or How do I tell CMake to use Clang on Windows?

• You have the latest CMake version

• You have access rights on the drive you want CMake to generate your build environment

• You have a clean build directory (because CMake does cache things from the last try) e.g. as sub-directory of your source tree

  Windows cmd.exe

    > rmdir /s /q VS2015
    > mkdir VS2015
    > cd VS2015
  

  Bash shell

    $ rm -rf MSYS
    $ mkdir MSYS
    $ cd MSYS
  

  and make sure your command shell points to your newly created binary output directory.

General things you can/should try

1. Is CMake able find and run with any/your default compiler? Run without giving a generator

    > cmake ..
    -- Building for: Visual Studio 14 2015
    ...
   

   Perfect if it correctly determined the generator to use — like here Visual Studio 14 2015

2. What was it that actually failed?

   In the previous build output directory look at CMakeFilesCMakeError.log for any error message that make sense to you or try to open/compile the test project generated at CMakeFiles[Version]CompilerIdC|CompilerIdCXX directly from the command line (as found in the error log).

CMake can’t find Visual Studio

1. Try to select the correct generator version:

    > cmake --help
    > cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015" ..
   

2. If that doesn’t help, try to set the Visual Studio environment variables first (the path could vary):

    > "c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0VCvcvarsall.bat"
    > cmake ..
   

   or use the Developer Command Prompt for VS2015 short-cut in your Windows Start Menu under All Programs/Visual Studio 2015/Visual Studio Tools (thanks at @Antwane for the hint).

Background: CMake does support all Visual Studio releases and flavors (Express, Community, Professional, Premium, Test, Team, Enterprise, Ultimate, etc.). To determine the location of the compiler it uses a combination of searching the registry (e.g. at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftVisualStudio[Version];InstallDir), system environment variables and — if none of the others did come up with something — plainly try to call the compiler.

CMake can’t find GCC (MinGW/MSys)

1. You start the MSys bash shell with msys.bat and just try to directly call gcc

    $ gcc
    gcc.exe: fatal error: no input files
    compilation terminated.
   

   Here it did find gcc and is complaining that I didn’t gave it any parameters to work with.

   So the following should work:

    $ cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" ..
    -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 4.8.1
    ...
    $ make
   

   If GCC was not found call export PATH=... to add your compilers path (see How to set PATH environment variable in CMake script?) and try again.

2. If it’s still not working, try to set the CXX compiler path directly by exporting it (path may vary)

    $ export CC=/c/MinGW/bin/gcc.exe
    $ export CXX=/c/MinGW/bin/g++.exe
    $ cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" ..
    -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 4.8.1
    ...
    $ mingw32-make
   

   For more details see How to specify new GCC path for CMake

   Note: When using the «MinGW Makefiles» generator you have to use the mingw32-make program distributed with MinGW

3. Still not working? That’s weird. Please make sure that the compiler is there and it has executable rights (see also preconditions chapter above).

   Otherwise the last resort of CMake is to not try any compiler search itself and set CMake’s internal variables directly by

    $ cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/c/MinGW/bin/gcc.exe -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/c/MinGW/bin/g++.exe ..
   

   For more details see Cmake doesn’t honour -D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++ and Cmake error setting compiler

   Alternatively those variables can also be set via cmake-gui.exe on Windows. See Cmake cannot find compiler

Background: Much the same as with Visual Studio. CMake supports all sorts of GCC flavors. It searches the environment variables (CC, CXX, etc.) or simply tries to call the compiler. In addition it will detect any prefixes (when cross-compiling) and tries to add it to all binutils of the GNU compiler toolchain (ar, ranlib, strip, ld, nm, objdump, and objcopy).

Hi,

EDIT: Apparently if we specify LANGUAGES CXX in project, cmake doesn’t check for C compiler. So that issue is solved but it is still not taking dpcpp as a valid CXX compiler and throwing the error:

    make.exe: *** [cmTC_7c364/fast] Error 2

And I can’t use clang++ as compiler as mentioned below.

—————————————

tl;dr: how do I invoke cmake so that I can use dpcpp as c++ compiler on windows 10 (to generate Makefile)?

I am trying to build a library+test app (with gtest) however my issue is with CMAKE on windows 10.

It appears that with beta08, dpcpp interface has become more like MSVC compiler (switches starting with / instead of -).

If I use command 

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=dpcpp ..

It finds gcc as c compiler and complains that clang & msvc can’t be mixed.

CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.16/Modules/Platform/Windows-Clang.cmake:104 (message):
  The current configuration mixes Clang and MSVC or some other CL compatible
  compiler tool.  This is not supported.  Use either clang or MSVC as both C
  and C++ compilers.

 if I give command:

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -D CMAKE_C_COMPILER=cl -D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ ..

It finds MSVC 19.23.28106.4 as C compiler and fails to compiler test c program with errors like;

If I add following to CMakeLists.txt file

set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "dpcpp")
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -Wno-sycl-strict")

and give command

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" ..

It again finds gcc and complains that Clang and MSVC can not be mixed (as in first case above)

If I use command (without adding dpcpp to CMakeLists.txt file)

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -D CMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ ..

It generates build files correctly but when I run make, it compiles my main source but gives following error (the source file is using dpct::device_vector so it includes dpct/dpstd_utils.hpp) for test case files:

make[1]: *** [test/CMakeFiles/sgm-test.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

I have tried to compile this file (census_transform_test.dp.cpp) as stand alone file with clang++ and I get same errors but not when i use dpcpp. 

So my question is, how do I invoke cmake so that I can use dpcpp as c++ compiler on windows 10?

I want to generate make files and not visual studio solution.

I converted all the files from repo libSGM and now trying to build it along with tests so that I can validate the dpct generated cpp code. I can share the converted code if required.

Regards,
Gagan
