Could not locate OIS using CMake and Makefiles - makefile

Question

So I'm trying to compile a simple Ogre3D project:
C:\OgreSDK\Projects\Physics> cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" ./

CMake Error at C:/OgreSDK/CMake/FindPkgMacros.cmake:120 (message):
Required library OIS not found! Install the library (including dev
packages) and try again. If the library is already installed, set the
missing variables manually in cmake.
Call Stack (most recent call first):

See also "C:/OgreSDK/Projects/Physics/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
I checked, in the OgreSDK/bin folder I can see a OIS(_d).dll. If I try to setup a var OIS_HOME which point to a folder with dll folder within the ois.dll, it doesn't work either.
EDIT
Here is a gist with all env vars listed https://gist.github.com/vinz243/0eea7dd96db785d6a4e3
EDIT 2
After some attempts I edited the findOIS.cmake like this:

And this is what is defined in CMakeCache.txt:
//Path to a file.

//Path to a file.

//x

//x
EDIT 3
I edited the CMakeCache like this:
OIS_BINARY_DBG:FILEPATH=C:/OgreSDK/bin/Debug/OIS_d.dll
//Path to a file.
OIS_BINARY_REL:FILEPATH=C:/OgreSDK/bin/Release/OIS.dll
//x

//x
OIS_LIBRARY_FWK:STRING=NOTFOUND
//x
OIS_LIBRARY_REL:FILEPATH=C:/OgreSDK/lib/Debug/OIS.lib
And when I run make:
λ make
Scanning dependencies of target OgreApp

EDIT 4: OK, i managed to run cmake. But this is what I get when bulding VS 2013 and v100 compiler:

EDIT 5
I'm building Ogre w/ VS 2013 and Boost. Successfully built OgreDeps and Ogre itself, but when running the SampleDemo.exe, it said that D3DCOMPILER_47.dll was missing, but finally found it in Steam folder. now I'm trying to recompile my project
EDIT #6
I compiled boost and generated the project. I opened it in VS 2013 and built ALL_BUILD successfully!!!! But how do I run it? The button Debug is named Attach... and when I build INSTALL task it gives me this in both debug and release

EDIT #7
OK VS 2013 was generating the OgreApp.exe (or OgreApp_d) in dist. Copied every Ogre dll file in this folder and ran the exe and it worked :) Thank you guys for all your help. To conclude, the solution was rebuilding Ogre with the VS version I wanted to use

Answer 1

Why don't you wish to install pkg-config for Windows first? It would save you from a manual hacking of the CMakefile.txt-s.
The last error you've got is due to missing (proper) linker flags for linking Boost.System library. Likely, one or several of the libraries being linked in also require Boost.System, and this dependency isn't resolved automatically. Typically pkg-config is used to handle the dependecies, but since you're doing-it-yourself, you should manually add the library dependency using imported library target. See this tutorial to get the idea how to properly include external pre-existing libraries to the build chain of your project.
Actually the standard way to define required Boost dependencies in CMakeLists.txt looks like this:
find_package(Boost 1.50 COMPONENTS program_options locale REQUIRED)
with the subsequent
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
add_executable(an_executable ${AN_EXE_SOURCES})
target_link_libraries(an_executable
...
${Boost_LIBRARIES}
)
please note that at least some linkers (e.g. GNU ld) can't re-order a given library list, so if your application demand LibA and LibB, and LibB in turn depends on LibA, than LibB should go first in the linkers library list (if both LibA and LibB depend on each other, than one of these libraries should be included twice). I'm not sure that the problem is actual for Microsoft VC++ Linker, but it's worth mentioning.
Upd: #Vinz243 had to rebuild the OGRE library to get it properly linked against the test application.
