The first time that the project is configured, CMake will bring up a window asking you to "Specify the generator for this project" i.e. which compiler you wish to use. Select Visual Studio 14 2015 (or Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64 for 64-bit), and press Finish. CMake will now do a check on your system and will produce a preliminary build configuration. | ||
## CMake adds new configuration variables in red. Some have a value ending with <tt>-NOTFOUND</tt>. These variables should receive your attention. Some errors will prevent SimGear from building and others will simply invalidate some options without causing build errors. | ## CMake adds new configuration variables in red.

### First check the <tt>MSVC_3RDPARTY_ROOT</tt> variable. If it is not set, chances are that there will be a lot of <tt>-NOTFOUND</tt> errors. Instead of trying to fix every error individually, set that variable to the location of the directory structure that is presented above. Then press [[File:CMake GUI Configure.png]] again. | ### First check the <tt>MSVC_3RDPARTY_ROOT</tt> variable. If it is not set, chances are that there will be a lot of <tt>-NOTFOUND</tt> errors.

### Also check the lines with a checkbox. These are build options and may impact the feature set of the built program. | ### Also check the lines with a checkbox. These are build options and may impact the feature set of the built program. | ||
