2nd Try ==> Visual Studio 2017 solution via Cmake

Hey all,

After some time and more hobby programming, I got myself in the Linux world (Debian distro) and learned so much in so little time (what is a CWD, getting used to the console, non IDE deving (VIM + manual compilation), make files libraries and so much more!)

While I want to keep staying on Linux world I still want to hop back to windows and clear out unfinished business.

I thought of trying the Cmake path, so I got the latest IVAN git, made a build dir in it, and tried to invoke the cmake file - I sorted out all the error dependencies, but I seem to be stuck at this one:



-- Checking for module 'libpng'
--
-- Checking for module 'libpcre'
--
CMake Error at Main/CMakeLists.txt:7 (find_package):
By not providing "FindPCRE.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "PCRE", but
CMake did not find one.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "PCRE" with any of
the following names:

PCREConfig.cmake
pcre-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "PCRE" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"PCRE_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "PCRE"
provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
installed.

All help would greatly be appreciated ! Thank you!
