I am trying to build clapack and run to a problem that I can't figure it out. After running the following line in cmd

cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022 " -T host = x64 ^
    -DUSE_BLAS_WRAP = "yes" ^
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX = " c: \ clapack-3.2.1-CMAKE " ^
    ..

I get this error

"CMake Error: Parse error in command line argument: USE_BLAS_WRAP
 Should be: VAR:type=value"

Also I want to ad one path to the environmental variable using following lines

call powershell -command "$ oldpath = [System.Environment] :: GetEnvironmentVariable (\" Path \ ", \" Machine \ "); $ oldpath + = \"; c: \ vcpkg \ installed \ x64-windows \ bin \ "; [System.Environment] :: SetEnvironmentVariable (\" Path \ ", $ oldpath, \" Machine \ ")"

I know other ways of adding path to environmental variable but I want to know what is the problem here.

but the following error showed up.

At line:1 char:74
+ ... .Environment] :: GetEnvironmentVariable (" Path \ , " Machine \ ); $  ...
+                                                           ~~~~~~~

Thanks in advance for your help.

Do you have a CMakeLists.txt file?

I think this -DUSE_BLAS_WRAP = "yes"
should look like this -DUSE_BLAS_WRAP="yes"

@yanson Thanks , I tried -DUSE_BLAS_WRAP="yes" before posting the question but it didn't fix the problem.
