>From the CMake source code file Source/cmGlobalVisualStudio8Generator.cxx:
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
std::string cmGlobalVisualStudio8Generator::GetUserMacrosDirectory()
{
// Some VS8 sp0 versions cannot run macros.
// See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928209
const char* vc8sp1Registry =
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\8.0\\"
"InstalledProducts\\KB926601;";
const char* vc8exSP1Registry =
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\8.0\\"
"InstalledProducts\\KB926748;";
std::string vc8sp1;
if (!cmSystemTools::ReadRegistryValue(vc8sp1Registry, vc8sp1) &&
!cmSystemTools::ReadRegistryValue(vc8exSP1Registry, vc8sp1))
{
return "";
}
Since you mention you have SP1 installed, (KB926601), we skip copying
the macros files for your installation since we know they will not
work. We also will not even try to call the macro, even if you copy it
into place by hand. See the Microsoft URL in the source code comment
for more details...
If you want to try to use this functionality anyway, you'll have to
modify CMake's code to avoid the return statement in the above code.
