Could not find a package configuration file provided by "ECM" with any of the following names: ECMConfig.cmake ecm-config.cmake Add the installation prefix of "ECM" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "ECM_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.

Hi,
I have tried to clone a repository of KDE. But apparently it requires Extra Cmake Modules. I currently use windows 10 and cannot sudo install ECM as on Ubuntu. I have downloaded the extra Cmake modules from git and also tried to edit CMakelists.txt like
find_package(ECM REQUIRED NO_MODULE)
set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${ECM_MODULE_PATH})
after copying the ECM folder into the repository folder. But not working.Please can anyone suggest me in simple terms of what to do.
I am sorry if seems like a stupid question, but I could not find any resource anywhere for windows users.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

That's a question you should bring to the KDE folks.

In any case, if my memory serves well, that module follows the same logic as the others, use cmake to install it on your system and then you should be able to use it as other KDE modules.

Note that if you require KDE modules, IIRC, there's a project called craft that should help you build things on Windows.

Hi, I have used cmake to build and saved the ECM modules binaries using Ninja (Generator) into the application folder. This has solved the aforesaid error. But still the project does not load further than cmakeLists.txt . There are no subdirectories visible.There is no. pro file as such which can be directly opened. ![screenshot]( image url)

When other projects are opened, the project tree is clearly visible. But not here. The issues pane is clear. Any assistance will be vital.

@anubhav360 Please check the CMake log - apparently CMake fails to parse your project files.

Thanks for replying. Here are the texts for

Any idea where the things are going wrong and possible solutions would be extremely helpful.

Since Cantor is part of KDE, did you took a look at Craft to build it ?

anubhav360

@SGaist .So I took your advice, and used craft to build it instead . Everything looks super cool, until i encounter this .

The notification says Building Cantor failed. Any idea as to whats going wrong here.

SGaist

Are you building within an Anaconda environment ?

anubhav360

No. I am not explicitly building in Anaconda environment but I have Anaconda installed. Cantor requires a lot of python dependencies , it sort of started referring to Anaconda directories by default when I ran Install command in Craft. Thanks for bearing with me till now,any solutions here?

SGaist

What python library do you have there ?

anubhav360

The .lib files are:-
_tkinter.lib
python3.lib
python37.lib

SGaist

It's not the same python version between the screenshot and the current code.
