Unable to test the build of stdlib library using CMake

[aman-godara]

I was working in the directory D:/GSoC/Fortran Codes and used the command cmake -B build -G Ninja to get this message.

-- Detecting Fortran compiler ABI info
-- Detecting Fortran compiler ABI info - done
-- Check for working Fortran compiler: C:/MinGW/bin/gfortran.exe - skipped

Then I ran the command cmake --build build --target test and got a very long error.
This is how the end of the error looks like:

Errors while running CTest
FAILED: CMakeFiles/test.util
cmd.exe /C "cd /D "D:\GSoC\Fortran Codes\build" && C:\Users\<myusername>\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\site-packages\cmake\data\bin\ctest.exe --force-new-ctest-process "
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

I was working on a different version of the stdlib (after successfully pulling #346 to my local machine using Git) while I was following the instructions given in README.md file of stdlib. I was following the instructions from top to bottom one by one until I got this error.

I am using gfortran compiler GNU Fortran (MinGW.org GCC Build-2) 9.2.0 and platform architecture is

with Windows 10 as the operating system.
CMake version cmake version 3.18.4
Ninja version 1.10.0.git.kitware.jobserver-1
fypp version 3.0, python version Python 3.7.7

Can anyone please help me with it? Thank you.

Hey! Can anyone help me with this? I tried using gfortran GNU Fortran (Rev9, Built by MSYS2 project) 10.2.0 but the problem persisted. The README.md file of stdlib says that people were able to successfully build stdlib with MSYS version 10 of GCC Fortran but for me it failed. I will be grateful if anyone can help me with it. Thank you.

Hi @aman-godara, did you run cmake --build build first, before running cmake --build build --target test?

Hi @aman-godara, did you run cmake --build build first, before running cmake --build build --target test?

I ran this command cmake -B build -G Ninja.

You are perhaps missing a step, there are three separate commands to run:

cmake -B build -G Ninja

cmake --build build

cmake --build build --target test

I ran the command asked by you on a freshly cloned stdlib repository but I got errors. Can you please once check if current repository is successfully building on your local machine?

Yes I just ran these on the latest stdlib version. What errors are you getting now?

It worked somehow this time. Thank you!! Probably I was doing something wrong.
