#1 Updated by J. Moringen over 10 years ago
- Subject changed from RST build under windows -- does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt to RST fails to build on Windows - does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt
- Category set to documentation
#2 Updated by C. Dreyer over 10 years ago
After changing the directory one up (where the CMakelists are) it works.
#3 Updated by J. Wienke over 10 years ago
You forgot the .. at the end of the cmake call. I am pretty sure ;)
#4 Updated by J. Moringen over 10 years ago
… or the second half of mkdir -p build && cd build did not go through and the directory was not changed.

- Status changed from New to Closed
Very likely a user error. Reopen if otherwise.
