## Press | ## Press [[File:CMake GUI Configure.png]]. 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 10, (or Visual Studio 10 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 to build and others will simply invalidate some options without provoking build errors. | ## CMake adds new configuration variables in red.
