You can not set environment variables for build time from CMake so this would not work anyway. If the compiler is not in your path on windows, it does not work. CMake assumes a working environment for the tools being used.

Thanks. Yeah, I realized before I submitted to the ML but immediately after I submitted the bug description why the code wouldn't work.

I'll implement and test Hendrik's suggestion of a CMake wrapper script.

Never got around to working on this issue so I'm assigning this to the backlog. The thread is here if anyone is interested:
