Hi, I am trying to create a c++ project from existing source, but I am stuck with an error during the pre-build process and I can’t figure out what leads to it. The first one is a CMakeError, which is shown below:

PRE-BUILD FAILED (exit value 1, total time: 8s)

Can anyone please help me about it? If you need any further information, I would be glad to offer. I have totally no idea about what’s the cause and where may I find it. I would really appreciate your help, thanksss!!

It looks like you’re missing OpenSSL headers for MinGW. Does installing the package for that help (I’m not sure what the name would be, but maybe libssl-devel, libssl-dev, openssl-devel, or the like)?

Hi, thank you very much for your reply. I have installed OpenSSL and also added the path as an environment variable. But I think maybe libssl-devel, libssl-dev , openssl-devel are the solutions and I haven’t installed them. However, after I searched in Google, they seem all to be packages for Linux system, can you offer some suggestions on how to install them in Windows? Thanks :slightly_smiling_face:

IIRC, MinGW has a package manager similar to Linux. However, maybe I’m thinking of MSYS2 here. Qt’s instructions seem relevant here though.

Hi, I have installed MSYS2 and set it as my default tool collection. Then the problem is solved!!! Thank you very much for your advices :grinning:
