Hi,

CMake will not configure on one of our development machines. When I run CMake on this machine, it initially it says:


-- Check for working C compiler: cl


Then it crunches for about 15 minutes, and eventually displays the message:


-- Check for working C compiler: cl - broken
CMake Error: The C compiler "cl" is not able to compile a simple test program.


If I look inside the binary output directory while CMake is running, I can see that the CMakeFiles directory is being expanded recursively like this:

C:\temp\CMakeExample-bin\CMakeFiles\CMakeTmp\CMakeFiles\CMakeTmp\CMakeFiles\CMakeTmp\CMakeFiles\CMakeTmp\...

Perhaps it is getting stuck in infinite recursion?



As you have seen this has happened in a few cases, but we have never been able to reproduce it at Kitware. If you are willing to do help try to figure this out, I will work with you. It might help if you could build CMake from source, can you use the nmake generator on the broken system?
