Trying to compile libpng, I'm using this command:

Code:

cmake -G"Visual Studio 8 2005" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:/_install C:/_src/libpng-1.6.34

The result is:

Code:

-- The ASM compiler identification is unknown
-- Didn't find assembler
-- The C compiler identification is MSVC 14.0.50727
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:34 (project):
  No CMAKE_ASM_COMPILER could be found.

What assembler it uses? I have nasm.exe installed (for libjpeg), what assembler the libpng needs?

I think one suggestion for this type of problem is enabling the language last (doc). This person had the same problem with libpng.

Replacing "project(libpng ASM C)" with "project(libpng C ASM)" indeed worked, thanks.

Also shouldn't forget to delete cache files.
