Hi, "suddenly" the Visual Studio 8 2005 generator is broken. The only change I could remember is the VC hot fix:
Visual Studio 2005 Fix for Working with Large Visual C++ Solutions http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/ I've removed it, I've reinstalled VC, but nothings helps. But the nmake files are ok. Does anybody has an idea what's going on here? Many thanks, Peter Here the output, when using a empty CMakeLists.txt: C:\ctest>cmake -G"NMake Makefiles" .. -- Check for CL compiler version -- Check for CL compiler version - 1400 -- Check if this is a free VC compiler -- Check if this is a free VC compiler - no -- Check CL platform -- Check CL platform - 32 bit -- Check for working C compiler: cl -- Check for working C compiler: cl -- works -- Check size of void* -- Check size of void* - done -- Check for working CXX compiler: cl -- Check for working CXX compiler: cl -- works -- Configuring done -- Generating done -- Build files have been written to: C:/ctest C:\ctest>rm -rf * C:\ctest>cmake -G"Visual Studio 8 2005" .. -- Check for working C compiler: cl -- Check for working C compiler: cl -- broken The C compiler "cl" is not able to compile a simple test program.
