No EXTERNAL_MODULE option can be found in CMake [message #1843072] Wed, 14 July 2021 06:50 Go to next message

Hello,

I followed step 4 of the tutorial to create customized FB types on Windows using MinGW-w64 and CMake. I can create customized FB types and export them to a dedicated folder with generated CMakeLists.txt, but I couldn't find the external modules as options after doing CMake configure.

My CMake configuration with external modules folder:
index.php/fa/40754/0/

My folder tree, external modules and CMake configuration are in the attached images.
OS: win10
CMake: 3.18.0
MinGW-w64: 8.1.0
Forte: 1.14.0

Thanks ahead for any help and comments.

Br,
Tuojian

The documentation is maybe not to clear about the external modules directory. This directory must not contain any FBs and CMakeList.txt. The build system scans the external modules directory for any sub directories containg a CMakeList.txt and treats these as modules. So if you create a directory in your external modules directory with your FBs and the CMakeList.txt it should work.
