Any help on this?
Hi Kumaranath, If you're using Visual Studio 2015, then the compiler should be new enough. You could check the exact version with something like what's suggested in this post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1233312/finding-version-of-microsoft-c-compiler-from-command-line-for-makefiles However I'm not too sure of what the real problem is in your situation. The compiler seems to be installed and working, but for some reason CMake is not able to compile and run a simple C++ test program. When you configure CMake, it builds a number of simple test programs to ensure that your compiler has all the necessary features. But based on the log output you gave, one of these tests appears to be failing to compile for some reason. It might be tricky, but I think the right approach might be to dig into the (long) CMake error log and try to reproduce the exact code that CMake is failing to compile during the configuration, and try to compile that code by hand (in the same way you compiled a simple Hello World example). Unfortunately past that I'm not sure I can give too much advice; I've never seen CMake fail to configure when the compiler is installed. Another idea might be to try on a different system (maybe with a different OS like Linux or OS X)... Hope that helps.
