Hello, I am new here to Ogre and was wondering how I could fix this error when setting up CMake:

Could NOT find PkgConfig (missing:  PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE)

I already went through multiple problems (such as installing VC++ 2012 instead of 2010) and having the main Ogre directory listed in the wrong place. I could really use some help, I haven't the slightest idea what to do. I poked around a bit to see if anyone else had answered my questions but sadly all questions close to mine have had curveballs that don't quite fit my situation.

I am running Windows 8 32bit with OgreSDK_vc10_v1-8-1 and CMake 2.8.11.2 if that helps

Code: Select all

You are not supposed to use PkgConfig on Windows.

see http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pkg-config/

The error is not really an error, it's an informative message. It's completely harmless. Please keep in mind that Ogre has many optional dependencies, you don't need to satisfy all of them.
