cmake does not produce makefile

[Tecknique]

I have been unable to build this project, the error comes up after I try to do the command:
make -j 6

It looks like the cmake command does not build the necessary makefile.

I also noticed that the cmake command does not use the 'Released' type variable

Thanks,
James

make -j6 is a linux command and you are on windows, as I can see from the output, which looks like you just ran cmake ..

cmake ..

According to this answer, you can use:

cmake ..
cmake --build . --config Release

which should give output something like:

[  1%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/richdem.dir/src/richdem.cpp.o
[  3%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/richdem.dir/src/random.cpp.o
[  5%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/richdem.dir/src/gdal.cpp.o

[  8%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/richdem.dir/src/terrain_generation/PerlinNoise.cpp.o
[ 10%] Linking CXX static library librichdem.a

good luck!

You should add the following
-G "MinGW Makefiles"
to the cmake command
