如何在Windows上为gcc构建curlpp？

Question

I've downloaded the package from here: https://github.com/jpbarrette/curlpp
When I drag CMakelists.txt onto cmake.exe it does build something that looks like a Microsoft Visual Studio project. I want to build static library that I could use in Codeblocks with GCC instead. I've not idea how to do it, I don't know where the options are or how to set appropriate flags.
I've also followed this post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/27609214/7310666c which is about cURL - it build correctly, but when I linked it to my project it gave me undefined reference error.
Could anyone give me a hand here? My desktop is already littered by all the files I downloaded while trying.

As mentionned here :

CMake [..] is responsible for writing the input files for a native build system.

The modules responsible of creating files for a specific build system are called "Generators". For a full list of those generators, please have a look at this .

In your case, by default it selects Visual Studio, even though "Code Blocks" should be available.

So, here's an example of how you could obtain the required files:

cd /path/to/curlpp/
mkdir build
cd build    
cmake -G "CodeBlocks - NMake Makefiles" ..
