Current behavior

When trying to build using cmake within shell MINGW64.
I'm on Windows 7 64-bit.

$ cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" ..

Which version of cmake are you using exactly? (3.11.?)

[derselbst]

And please attach CMakeCache.txt.

Thank you so much for your reply! I was at my wit's end yesterday when I reached out for help.

Cmake is version 3.11.4.

The CmakeCache.txt is attached.

I see. You misunderstood the build instructions. You are not supposed / allowed to navigate to
fluidsynth-1.1.11/src. I've updated the instructions, please let me know whether it's clear now: https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/wiki/BuildingWithCMake#building

[areeves87]

Thanks, yes I confused source files with the src folder. Using your updated instructions I successfuly built and made the fluidsynth.pc file. If I can provide any more info for your records, let me know.
