Hi Bill, Alan,

just to make sure, I checked that there is an e-drive
and a directory temp on that drive. These settings are
the same as always when I use the MSVC/C++ or Intel Fortran
compilers.

My guess is that the use of the forward slash is messing
up the argument parsing:

- cl uses both "/" and "-" as the start characters for
   a command-line option.
- MSYS uses the forward slash to separate path components
   and in this particular case both forward and backward
   slashes occur.
- cl is complaining about a file called "e:", not "e:/temp"

(The DOS shell can use both forward and backward slashes
by the way as a path separator, but it is not consistent
in this - path completion only works for backward slashes
for instance)

This means that the MSYS shell can not be readily used
to generate the makefiles. An alternative I can imagine is
that I use the DOS shell and make the MinGW/MSYS utilities available via
the path.


I suspect you might be right. I am thinking this is MSYS messing with the command line somehow. Can you build with nmake and a DOS shell? If so, can you then go into that tree with the msys shell and try to build?

Some other things you can try:
add --debug-trycompile to the cmake command line. This will leave the files in CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp. You can then cd into there and run nmake from the command line and look at the makefiles. I don't think CMake is doing the mixed path stuff. I think this is a bad interaction with nmake and msys.
