Windows cmake+windows=totally useless

[wolverine79936]

This is not the first time that I have had trouble making cmake on windows do anything at all.

I have tried it with various other projects and it never generates anything but errors. No matter what.

Here's what I got when I tried to run cmake on opentibia:

Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Perhaps someone else knows what is wrong with cmake...?

I forgot to mention, the links to instructions in the COMPILING file are broken. Neither of them work as well. They just give 404 errors. Not very helpful.

If someone has a VC2012 project file they wouldn't mind sending me, it would be greatly appreciated. If they have a precompiled copy of the latest OT server, that would be appreciated as well.

The wrong thing is that you don't have the requested libraries installed, you need to install boost and libxml on your compiler...
I never had problems with cmake, today i did the same thing as you without any problem, and last week i did it with otclient, without problem too, just need to install the libs...

If you use codeblocks or dev cpp you can install libs with devpaks, codeblocks have an plugin that download and install devpaks automatically, but if you found problems with this, download directly from this website:
Devpaks repository
