Can't install due to cmake error

[Cora]

I'm running Windows 7, 64-bit. 

STEPS:

1. Python 3 was already installed on my machine, but I went ahead and installed 2.7.7 as well just in case.

2. Downloaded and ran the windows exe for cmake (from http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html). This installed version 2.8 to my 32-bit program files folder.

3. Was confused by the instruction to add minGW to the path var as it isn't on my machine, so I went to https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Installer/ and got the latest exe. Also seemed to install fine.

4. Added minGW to path variable as instructed.

5. Was again confused by instruction to add python 3.2 to path as earlier the documentation specified version 2.7. Decided to ignore this step, but double checked that both 2.7 and 3.4 were there.

6. Created lci folder in program files as target folder to install to

7. Downloaded lolcode project zip from github.

8. Opened elevated cmd prompt and navigated to folder containing install.py

9. Ran install.py --prefix="C:/Program Files/lci"

RESULT:

1. Terminal confirms that it will be running cmake with the given prefix

2. Terminal displays "Error installing: There was a CMake error."

ATTEMPTS TO FIX: (really just me wandering around in the dark hoping something would work. It didn't, sigh):

1. Running as py -3 install.py etc

2. Running as py -2 install.py etc explicitly

3. In a fit of magical thinking, tried adding Python32 to path var

4. Uninstalling MinGW, but still including it in the path var in case this somehow came with the project

5. Omitting the prefix arg (so just install.py)

All the above produced the same error message.

Can haz help?

Hi Cora,

Two things should help narrow down the problem:  (1) which version of lci are you trying to get running and (2) are you able to build lci by just using CMake without the install.py script?
