问题:

I am trying to build FIAT using CMake GUI on windows 10. 

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:3 (project):
  Failed to run MSBuild command:

    MSBuild.exe

  to get the value of VCTargetsPath:
Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I configured CMake to use Visual Studio 15 2017 compiler.

How can I fix this?

If needed, here is the CMakeLists.txt file

As per your recommendation, I tried building from the Developer Command Prompt for VS2015 but still got the following error:

回答1:

What Worked for me was

  1. File > Delete Cache
  2. Click Configure
  3. Selecting The right version of Visual Studio from the drop-down list, I.e. - the one that is installed on your machine. in my case, it was 'Visual Studio 15 2017' on windows 10.


回答2:

The error reads a missing Path to MSBuild.exe

The possible solution to this is to install MSBuild.exe

Scroll down to Other Tools and Frameworks, and install Build Tools For Visual Studio



回答3:

I had the same issue for what might be the same reason.

I configured CMake to use Visual Studio 15 2017 compiler.

[...]

I tried building from the Developer Command Prompt for VS2015

If I'm reading this correctly, you have Visual Studio 14 (i.e. Visual Studio 2015) installed and tried to configure CMake with the Visual Studio 15 (i.e. Visual Studio 2017) generator -- exactly the thing I did, unintentionally.

Pay close attention to the version names. They can be confusing. Visual Studio 15 is not the same as Visual Studio 2015. The program name may contain a four-digit year or a two-digit version number -- or both, as is the case with the CMake GUI. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Visual_Studio#History and compare the listed product names and version numbers.



回答4:

Are you using the Visual Studio developer's console? I find that if I cmake --build . from Window's build-in command line (cmd.exe), then my builds fail in similar ways. If I use the Visual Studio Developer's console instead, then things work better, though I need to add /p:Platform="Win32" as a tag if I call msbuild directly.. Specifically this is for tools which aren't found or incorrect paths. Using the Visual Studio command-line gives you a bunch of enviornment variables which are needed by MSBuild to compile your project.



回答5:

I've hit this several times now. When you set environment variables like TEMP and TMP to a path that is not writable or doesn't exist, CMake will produce this error as it failed to run MSBUILD.exe while generating some files.



回答6:

For visual studio 2019,

System properties > environment variables > path, Add this one: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin



回答7:

I fixed by correcting Visual Studio version:

cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 2013 Win64"

Available generators :

  Visual Studio 15 2017 [arch] = Generates Visual Studio 2017 project files. 
                                 Optional [arch] can be "Win64" or "ARM".    
  Visual Studio 14 2015 [arch] = Generates Visual Studio 2015 project files. 
                                 Optional [arch] can be "Win64" or "ARM".    
  Visual Studio 12 2013 [arch] = Generates Visual Studio 2013 project files. 
                                 Optional [arch] can be "Win64" or "ARM".    
  Visual Studio 11 2012 [arch] = Generates Visual Studio 2012 project files. 
                                 Optional [arch] can be "Win64" or "ARM".    
  Visual Studio 10 2010 [arch] = Generates Visual Studio 2010 project files. 
                                 Optional [arch] can be "Win64" or "IA64".   
  Visual Studio 9 2008 [arch]  = Generates Visual Studio 2008 project files. 
                                 Optional [arch] can be "Win64" or "IA64".


回答8:

install http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=40760 MSbuild tools

Run CMD as normal user Type command MsBuild and veryfi the installation ** **Finished



回答9:

I'm working in node and have a C++ library as a dependency that must be built regularly. In my case installing extra build tools, etc, did not help. I had to simply uninstall all Visual Studio tools (via the installer) and then only install Visual Studio Professional.



回答10:

As DeJaVo said, add the directory containing MSBuild.exe to the PATH in your system environment variables, then restart CMAke. Mine was in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\MSBuild\15.0\Bin
