CMake Error: Unknown Command c_install_targets When Configuring Catalyst2

In Situ Support

Hi everyone,

I am trying to build Catalyst2 from the source code on a Windows 10 system using the following setup:

  • CMake Version: 3.31.0
  • Paraview Version: 5.12.1
  • Generator: Ninja
  • Compilers: GNU 14.1.0
  • Source Directory: ~/Catalyst/src
  • Build Directory: ~/Catalyst/build

I followed the Catalyst2 Build Instructions. However, when I try to configure using cmake-gui, I encounter the following error:

CMake Error at catalyst/CMakeLists.txt:159 (c_install_targets):
  Unknown CMake command "c_install_targets".

Steps I Followed

  1. Cloned the Catalyst2 repository into My Documents folder.
  2. Created an empty build directory inside the repository.
  3. Opened cmake-gui and set:
    • Where is the source code?: ~/Catalyst/src
    • Where to build the binaries?: ~/Catalyst/build
  4. Selected the Ninja generator and clicked Configure.
  5. Encountered the above error during configuration.

What I Tried

  • Verified that c_install_targets is defined in catalyst-internal-macros.cmake, which is included in the main CMakeLists.txt through the line:
    include(catalyst-internal-macros)

Questions

  1. Am I missing any dependencies or configurations specific to Windows when using Catalyst2 with Ninja and GNU?
  2. Is there a working example or CMake configuration file showing how to set these variables correctly?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
