It seems like if I start with a clean build directory then CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P
will be the proper value for the environment I am running in. But then after a
while (many runs of CMake) the value seems to get "lost" or otherwise is NOT in
the cache any longer. Kind of odd really.
You are probably right about the improper use of the "if" command. I never
really know which one to use and when something does not work when I _think_ it
really *should* work then I start trying all sorts of stuff.
Maybe someone else has some ideas as to why CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P might not be
defined.
