The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=13687 ====================================================================== Reported By: Michael Spencer Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 13687 Category: CMake Reproducibility: always Severity: major Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2012-11-16 06:01 EST Last Modified: 2012-11-16 06:01 EST ====================================================================== Summary: Failure to find VS11 toolchain on Windows 8 Description: I recently installed Windows 8 and VS 11.0.50727.1 RTMREL. When attempting to generate any CMake project (even just consisting of the PROJECT command) with the Visual Studio 11 (or Win64) generator I get the following error:
K:\Build\test>cmake -G "Visual Studio 11" . The C compiler identification is unknown The CXX compiler identification is unknown Looking for argz.h CMake Error at L:/Program Files (x86)/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeCInformation.cmake:37 (get_filename_component): get_filename_component called with incorrect number of arguments Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:3 (PROJECT) Followed by a bunch of fallout from this. This occurs with both cmake and cmake-gui. It also occurs even if I launch either from a VS11 Win64 command prompt. The error is because CMAKE_C_COMPILER is empty. I have tried reinstalling both VS and CMake. I have also tried the nightly version of CMake (cmake-2.8.10.20121113-ge39a1b-win32-x86.exe). VS works normally. And can be used via the command line. It is installed to the L: drive as opposed to the C:, but that has always worked for me in the past. Steps to Reproduce: 1) Install Windows 8 2) Install VS 11 3) Install CMake 4) ??? 5) Fail to generate VS11 projects Not that I have attempted to reinstall Windows. ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2012-11-16 06:01 Michael SpencerNew Issue ====================================================================== -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers
