No Makefile after cmake on Windows

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to install acados on Windows using the powershell. I’m following the instructions found here, and so far I’ve gotten cmake to compile fine. However no Makefile is created after this, so when I do:

make install

make isn’t able to find the install target.

Here is the output from cmake ..

Here are the contents of the build folder afterwards:

Hi

Installation instructions for Windows can be found here https://docs.acados.org/installation

I think you need to add:
-G "MinGW Makefiles"
to the cmake command to get a Makefile.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Yep, that was my issue. Didn’t see the windows installation tab on the wiki, I was just going off of the instructions on the github README.

Thanks!
