running build on any config results in cmake error looking for default directory which doesn't exist

[samwalls]

Hi, I've been trying to build the sokol samples using the fips steps specified in the README, and I can't seem to make any of the build configs work. Is there something obvious I'm missing? I'm familiar with cmake, but I'm not sure where this 'default' is defined, and why fips tries to do this.

setup steps prior to this:

• clone a fresh repository at 3e746d86cd87f634f4f7793c2e8d0ef71a2067ca
• run python fips set config sapp-win64-vstudio-debug

then running python fips build I see this:

Versions:

• cmake 3.12.3
• python 3.12.0
• ninja 1.11.1
• git 2.29.2.windows.3

Does anyone here know what's wrong?

I've just noticed that CMakeUserPresets.json defines the minimum version as

  "cmakeMinimumRequired": {
    "major": 3,
    "minor": 21,
    "patch": 0
  },

I updated cmake past this and the build works now. The minimum cmake version in the README needs to be bumped to 3.21.x I'm guessing?

Ah thanks for the investigation, the cmake error message isn't very helpful unfortunately.

Yeah, the cmake presets stuff is fairly new, and requires a higher minimal cmake version than the actual CMakeLists.txt files, which is a bit unfortunate. I'll try to align all mentions of the minimal cmake version number to 3.21.

Thanks for letting me know!
