[WINDOWS 10 HOME 64-BIT] Maybe it's because I've never used Cmake or the like before, but when I build the program, there's no executable

[ghost]

I found out about furnace from one of my favourite chiptune artists and I wanted to make music myself. I loaded the file using the git app (Not Github desktop, just git CMD). I never used Cmake, so I downloaded it and followed all the instructions .It kept on failing, so I've searched all over the internet and tried several different methods before I could even get Cmake to even work. Now, when cmake finally did what it's supposed to, I couldn't find the executable (and yes, I used the GUI and pressed generate). Is there something I'm missing? Or do I just know nothing about this kind of thing? Please help.

If you have built the program with the Visual Studio compiler, then it should be in a directory called Debug (or Release).

CMake seems to be good. Now run mingw32-make and the actual build process will begin.

I don't have that on path and I don't know what that is. I tried both my Ming64 Cli and cmd, with both of them saying that it doesn't exist. If you were wondering, no, still no VS. My computer is on life support.

I'm gonna have to re install Msys. Again.

I've decided to directly install Mingw64, and it keeps on freezing on the first file, before quitting and installing nothing useful.

Sorry! I forgot that you mentioned Ninja...

Now type ninja and press Enter to build.

It worked! Thank you! I'm grateful for you using some of your time to help. I've finally installed Mingw-make (Just in case...) and I finally know how to use Cmake (Or at least build programs I need with it)

We should move this to Discussions.
