Installing CMake for Windows in Wine without a GUI

Steps

  1. Set and export shell variables

    These variables are for our convenience:

    MYPREFIX=cmaketest
CMAKEVER=3.17.3
MSIFILE=cmake-$CMAKEVER-win64-x64.msi

    These are needed by winetricks and wine; they must be exported:

    export WINE_PREFIXES=/mnt/pfx
export WINEARCH=win64
export WINEPREFIX="$WINE_PREFIXES/$MYPREFIX"

  2. Create and configure a new wineprefix

    wineboot -i
winetricks -q prefix=$MYPREFIX win10

  3. Download CMake

    wget https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases/download/v$CMAKEVER/$MSIFILE

  4. Install CMake

    wineconsole msiexec -i $MSIFILE -q ADD_CMAKE_TO_PATH=System

Are you using cmake in wine?
I've found that it crashes if I use "MinGW Makefiles" as the build system but I've managed to get away with using "Ninja" for small projects
Also I'm not sure on how to go about silencing warnings for dlls or exes in the mingw/cmake path
