Error using YACSGEN on Windows 10 with Salome-9.7.0

Bottom line up front: Salome environment is set such that CONFIGURATION_ROOT_DIR = C:\SALOME-9.7.0\W64\CONFIGURATION

However there is no "CONFIGURATION" folder inside "W64" in the SALOME-9.7.0 install. When using YACSGEN, CMakeLists.txt requires CONFIGRATION_ROOT_DIR to be defined. Please advise. More details are as follows. 

When executing the following script in mymodule.py on windows 10 with Salome-9.7.0 installed, 

"

from module_generator import Generator,Module,PYComponent

from module_generator import CPPComponent,Service

from module_generator import Library

context={'update':1,

         "prerequisites":"C:/SALOME-9.7.0/run_salome_shell.bat",

"kernel":"C:/SALOME-9.7.0/W64/KERNEL"  

         }

c1=CPPComponent("mycompo",

                services=[

                          Service("myservice",

                                  inport=[("inputport","double"),],

                                  outport=[("outputport","double")],

                                  defs="#include <iostream>",

                                  body="ouputport=2*inputport;",

                                  ),

                         ]

m=Module("mymodule",components=[c1],prefix="./myInstall")

g=Generator(m,context)

g.generate()

g.configure()

g.make()

g.install()

g.make_appli("myappli",restrict=["KERNEL","GUI","YACS"])

"

The following error is obtained:

"

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "mymodule.py", line 24, in <module>

    g.configure()

  File "c:\SALOME-9.7.0\W64\YACSGEN\lib\python3.6\site-packages\module_generator\gener.py", line 845, in configure

    raise Invalid("configure has ended in error")

module_generator.gener.Invalid: configure has ended in error

"

The code around line 845 of gener.py is, 

"

    build_sh = "cd %s; cmake ../%s -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIXATH=%s"%(self.build_dir, self.sourceDir(), prefix) 

    ier = os.system(build_sh)

    if ier != 0:

      raise Invalid("configure has ended in error")

When use cmd prompt manually to execute cd %s; cmake ../%s -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIXATH=%s"%(self.build_dir, self.sourceDir(), prefix)  to see what error cmake identifies, I get the following error:

Hello,

since the CONFIGURATION directory only contains build scripts (CMake, autotools), what I would advise is to download the CONFIGURATION module and copy it into the W64 directory.

So one way is to download it from the github repository:

https://git.salome-platform.org/gitweb/?p=tools/configuration.git;a=summary

More specifically the 9.7.0 snapshot:

https://git.salome-platform.org/gitweb/?p=tools/configuration.git;a=snapshot;h=8437067aa369c94f9aed9456dc2ea2f38c6bd990;sf=tgz

Or download any other Linux images and copy the CONFIGURATION directory to the W64 directory.

Best regards

Thank you Gregor. Downloading the CONFIGURATION module and copying it into the W64 directory resolved the issue!
