Why my CMake GUI looks different than usual

Question

I have reinstalled CMake many times and still I don\'t have the Configure and Generate options on the CMake GUI. Can someone tell me how I can delete the old configuration?

Answer 1

You have hidden the CMake variables display (which includes the Configure and Generate buttons).

To fix this, hover your mouse pointer over the blank gray space directly under the "Where to build the binaries" textbox near the top, and the option to resize the window pane should display as your mouse pointer. You can click here and drag down vertically to re-expand the CMake variables display, which will show the buttons to Configure and Generate as well.
