[cmake-developers] Specifying a VS installation path explicitly

2015-10-27 Thread Johannes Asal 
Hi, 

I am trying to build a project using CMake and the VS 2010 generator on a 
buildserver running Jenkins. I want to clear all environment variables on 
the node to make sure that noone can influence builds by installing new 
software and thereby accidentally modifying the environment on the node. 
The problem is that CMake is unable to find Visual Studio (compiler id 
unknown) once I do that. I tried to find out which environment variables 
are needed to make it work but I gave up after 6 hours. There are too many 
and it doesn't make any sense to me why some of them are needed. 

My question is: How do I tell CMake to use a Visual Studio installed in a 
specific path? I know where it is installed on the buildserver so I just 
want to use that path instead of the complicated search routine which has 
so many environment dependencies. I tried setting CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM to 
the full MSBuild path but it didn't work. A Google search did not yield 
any results. 

Thanks a lot. 
- Johannes

Please create a build tree under the environment in question and send me
(off list) a .zip file of what CMake puts in the build tree.  Just use
a simple CMakeLists.txt file like

 cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.3)
 project(TestVS C)

Thanks,
-Brad

A simple source tree grep for "HKEY" (or even just "HK") will point you to
all the places CMake has registry key references in its source code...

If it was actually using registry entries only for locating the VS 
installations it would be perfectly fine with me. But my observations 
indicate that it depends on environment variables as well. Could you point 
me to where that logic is implemented in the source code or the CMake 
modules?

IIRC CMake uses Windows Registry entries to locate VS components.
I do not think we have any way to customize this.
