Description

Which repository is the this repository refering to in the install instructions for windows?

  1. Create a new folder alongside this repository (not inside it), called OpenCOLLADA-cmake
  2. cd OpenCOLLADA-cmake
  3. cmake ../OpenCOLLADA

By my miniscule understanding the following was attempted:
1st:
C:\Program Files\OpenCOLLADA-cmake>cmake ../OpenCOLLADA
CMake Error: The source directory "C:/Program Files/OpenCOLLADA" does not exist.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
2nd:
C:\Program Files\OpenCOLLADA-cmake>
C:\Program Files> cd OpenCOLLADA-cmake
C:\Program Files\OpenCOLLADA-cmake>set PATH="C:\Program Files\CMake\bin";%PATH%
C:\Program Files\OpenCOLLADA-cmake>cmake ../OpenCOLLADA
CMake Error: The source directory "C:/Program Files/OpenCOLLADA" does not exist.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

Research direction

Locate the Windows installation instructions containing the OpenCOLLADA-cmake and cmake ../OpenCOLLADA steps. Clarify which repository the instructions refer to and provide a path example that works from the user's reported Windows layout; done means a newcomer can follow the steps without the reported missing-source-directory error.
