All, I was trying to use the external project add feature to add a 32-bit VC++ project on a 64-bit parent build system. However, I ran into problems while compiling the 32-bit project. "devenv" used to complain "invalid solution configuration" I tried to explicitly set "CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE" using -D option as well as in the CMakeLists.txt. Nothing changed.
However, when I enabled "CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE", I found that "CMAKE" was "not" passing the -G option correctly. Instead of passing <cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008">, cmake was actually configuring the project as <cmake "-G Visual Studio 9 2008"> (Note that -G is inside the double-quote) When I isolate the build-step and build it manually using the correct syntax, everything works flawlessly. Specifying the generator via "CMAKE_ARGS" helps me compile. But CMAKE still appends the faulty -G syntax and hence is not producing the intended results for me. If this is indeed a bug, can some one tell me: 1. What is the temporary workaround for this? 2. If at all fixed, how long will it take the build to come out?
