Hi,
I'm trying to install Gromacs on Windows, so far I've been following the guide from https://manual.gromacs.org/documentation/current/install-guide/index.html
I could get the C and C++ compilers to work and even install Cmake, but when i try to install Gromacs following those comands
"cmake .. -DGMX_BUILD_OWN_FFTW=ON -DREGRESSIONTEST_DOWNLOAD=ON"
I get the following error:
"CMake Warning:
No source or binary directory provided. Both will be assumed to be the
same as the current working directory, but note that this warning will
become a fatal error in future CMake releases.
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:56 (project):
Running
'nmake' '-?'
failed with:
The system cannot find the file specified
CMake Error: CMAKE_C_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage
CMake Error: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "C:/gromacs-2022.2/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log"."
Does any of you know what the problem is? How could i fix it?
I would really apprecite your help.
You are trying to configure the project for NMake generator, but executable nmake is not accessible on your machine. That's why it's showing error like 'nmake' '-?'.
Better you configure the cmake first and then you run the cmake --build.
set( CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "/pathto/g++" )
set( CMAKE_C_COMPILER "/pathto/gcc" )
Add the above two lines before the project () line in your code
define a generator like this
cmake -G "NMake Makefiles"
'nmake' '-?' error will get resolved
Use only CMD it may not work with power shell.
I hope this would help you.
