Issue
Hi I'm trying to build Assimp with Cmake but the following error message appears everytime I try to configure Assimp. The version of Cmake is 3.11.0 and assimp is 4.0.0.

CMake Deprecation Warning at contrib/zlib/CMakeLists.txt:8 (cmake_policy):
The OLD behavior for policy CMP0048 will be removed from a future version
of CMake.
The cmake-policies(7) manual explains that the OLD behaviors of all
policies are deprecated and that a policy should be set to OLD only under
specific short-term circumstances. Projects should be ported to the NEW
behavior and not rely on setting a policy to OLD.

CMake Error at C:/cygwin/lib/cmake/Qt5Gui/Qt5GuiConfig.cmake:27 (message):
The imported target "Qt5::Gui" references the file
"C:/cygwin/include/qt5/"
but this file does not exist. Possible reasons include:
* The file was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.
* An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.
* The installation package was faulty and contained
"C:/cygwin/lib/cmake/Qt5Gui/Qt5GuiConfig.cmake"
but not all the files it references.

For the configuration generator I used Visual Studio 15 2017 since I'm using that for my IDE. Is there anyway that this can be solved?
Solution
Please try the latest version of assimp ( 4.1.0 ). The cygwin-cmake file was broken. This shall work with the latest version.
As a workaround diable the tools-support for assimp ( the library will be build, but the qt5-based viewer not ):
cmake CMakelists.txt -DASSIMP_BUILD_ASSIMP_TOOLS=OFF
This will fix your cmake-error, because the tools will not be affected by cmake.
