CMake usually emits a reasonably clear failure message. You may need to scroll back to see it because sometimes it emits so much after the critical failure that you miss it. That's also why those redirects are handy. If that message from cmake is not explicit enough about the failure, only then do I resort to digging through the CMakeError.log / CMakeOutput.log. Without knowing which tests "should" fail, it's not obvious which parts of CMakeError.log to care about.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Sat, Nov 24, 2018 at 4:45 PM Osman Zakir via llvm-dev <<a href="mailto:llvm-dev@lists.llvm.org">llvm-dev@lists.llvm.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<span>Sorry to be sending another email about the same thing, but I really need some help on this. I tried to use CMake 3.13.0 to generate VS2017 project files for LLVM, after checking out what I wanted to build from the trunk using SVN, but I couldn't generate
any project files. I'm attaching CMakeError.log and CMakeOutput.log to this message. </span></div>
