Some very interesting things are happening. I am walking through the code with F11, F10, Shift+F10 and trying to understand what’s happening. What really makes this process hard is that occasionally it succeeds generating the Makefile and the exit code is 0. Ultimately if I try to run the generated makefile it terminates with a linker error:

The extra info I gained through the VERBOSE=1 env var is this: Linking C executable cmTC_14330.exe C:\Users\Matty\Build\CMake\VS14\bin\Debug\cmake.exe -E vs_link_exe --intdir=CMakeFiles\cmTC_14330.dir --manifests -- C:\Kellekek\MICROS~1\VISUAL~1\14.0\VC\bin\amd64\link.exe /nologo @CMakeFiles\cmTC_14330.dir\objects1.rsp @C:\Users\Matty\AppData\Local\Temp\nm32CF.tmp Visual Studio Incremental Link with embedded manifests Create CMakeFiles\cmTC_14330.dir/manifest.rc Create empty: CMakeFiles\cmTC_14330.dir/embed.manifest RC Pass 1: /foCMakeFiles\cmTC_14330.dir/manifest.res CMakeFiles\cmTC_14330.dir/manifest.rc RC Pass 1 failed to run. However, this part I do not understand. I believe something is not quite consistent within the generation process, sometimes succeeding and somethimes not. Any ideas?

Okay, misread your original message. I've never actually tried that. > What should I put inside the Environment dialog to make things work? > Even when it’s empty, it finds cl.exe, but cmake fails trying to use it. Add "VERBOSE=1" to the environment to get a little more output about the "RC Pass 1 failed to run" failure. -Brad
