Cmake Error: could not load cache

Question

I\'m using Cmake to try to build a project for Eclipse. When I try running Cmake, I get the following error:

Error: could not load cache
Error: Batch build s         


        

Answer 1

If you are using the CLion, you can use File---"Reload CMake Project".

I meet this problem after using git force pull, and Reload CMake Project solves it.

Answer 2

If you are absolutely positive that you are running the build command from the binary directory, this error probably means that you have had an issue during the configuration/generation step that you should have ran before trying the build. You can try to configure again to check (cmake your-build-dir)

I would advise running the Gui and trying to load the cache to see if you get a more explicit error (although I doubt it).

Another possibility would be to try to create a new clean build directory and take it from there.

Answer 3

In your example Eclipse must run something like

cmake --build folder_name --target all

and I opt that the *folder_name* is bad in this case. You probably messed something up in Eclipse.

Answer 4

For me it helps to select CMake tab (next to Run, TODO) in CLion. Then click the Reload CMakeProject button.

Answer 5

run cmake --configure . it should generate required files.

Answer 6

If you are using Visual Studio 2019, close Visual Studio, delete .vs and out folders then rebuild your project.
