can't compile with cmake

Question

After a few hours getting errors i need some help. I'm trying to compile duke, source can be found here: http://opensource.mikrosimage.eu/duke.html

I downloaded Cmake (I've never compiled anything else then python files to pyc) so very new territory for me.

This is from the error log:

Compiling the C compiler identification source file "CMakeCCompilerId.c" failed.
Compiler:  
Build flags: 
Id flags: 

The output was:
The system cannot find the file specified


Compiling the CXX compiler identification source file "CMakeCXXCompilerId.cpp" failed.
Compiler:  
Build flags: 
Id flags: 

The output was:
The system cannot find the file specified

I have cmake in my PATH variable, using win 7 x64, i also tried to put in the path to modules and compilers but still i'm getting these error.

So do i have to download the compilers seperate or what i'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

From the INSTALL.md file:

For the moment Duke can compile on Linux only. The MacOs version is on its way and the Windows version is untested and will probably not compile as of now. We expect to support those three platforms in a near future.

And:

You'll need a C++11 compiler, Duke is known to compile on GCC 4.7.1 and later.

If you are feeling very brave, you could install Cygwin which does offer a C++ compiler and try the build from a Cygwin terminal.
