Summary0014595: CMake cannot find Visual C++ Express
DescriptionI'm trying to configure an example solution using CMake-gui on Windows for the first time and cannot complete the configuration. I am using Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express on a 64-bit machine. When I try to configure in CMake and specify Visual Studio 10 as the generator I get:

==========================================================

and when I specify Visual Studio 10 Win64 instead I get:

The CXX compiler identification is unknown
Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
==========================================================

I've tried re-installing / repairing Visual C++ several times as well as CMake and while this may have exacerbated the problem as I've begun to suspect I have a registry mix-up, bad environmental variables, or something of the like, it has not yielded any luck thus far.

 CMake 2.8.12 is known to work with VS Express 2010 normally so we'll have to figure out what is going on on this machine. There is likely more detail in the CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log and CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log files in the build tree.

Also several cleanups have been made since 2.8.12 that may either fix this or provide a better error message. Please try a recent nightly build from:

 Thanks for the help. I tried everything again with the nightly build CMake 2.8.12.20131124 and here are the results. I apologize for the length of this, but I tried everything with the default "Visual Studio 10 2010" generator as well as the IA64 and Win64 variants as well just to be sure. If there is a specific generator I should use on a 64-bit windows machine I will just test that one from here on.

With the "Visual Studio 10 2010" generator CMake outputted:
============================================================
The C compiler identification is unknown
The CXX compiler identification is unknown
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:4 (project):
  No CMAKE_C_COMPILER could be found.



CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:4 (project):

See also "C:/Users/Alex Sedlack/Desktop/GBasic/B1-build/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log".
============================================================

On the Win64 and IA64 variants it outputted:
============================================================
Found Windows SDK v7.1: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\
The C compiler identification is unknown
The CXX compiler identification is unknown

See also "C:/Users/Alex Sedlack/Desktop/GBasic/B1-build/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log".
============================================================

Line 4 of CMakeList.txt is "project(B1)".



As for CMakeFiles\CMakeOutput.txt all three tests yielded: "The system is: Windows - 6.1 - AMD64". If AMD64 is a reference to my chipset this may be a mistake as I am running on an Intel i7 2600k.


Finally, as for CMakeFiles\CMakeOutput.txt, when using the "Visual Studio 10 2010" generator as well as the Win64 variant this file showed:

Sorry for leaving so much to decipher. I'm still looking over the error log files and experimenting but I'm relatively new to CMake so I thought I'd include all the information to be thorough. Thanks for your help.

 Re 0014595:0034561: The first place I see something go wrong is this error message in the log file:

mt.exe : general error c101008d: Failed to write the updated manifest to the resource of file ".\CompilerIdC.exe". Access is denied. [C:\Users\Alex Sedlack\Desktop\GBasic\Visual Studio 10 2010\B1-build\CMakeFiles\2.8.12.20131124-g3b30f\CompilerIdC\CompilerIdC.vcxproj]

If you search the net for this "c101008d" code you will find many people reporting similar problems. Several different causes are discussed. A likely candidate is that you have an antivirus tool running that holds a lock on the .exe file to scan it just after it is created by the linker (link.exe) and does not release it in time for the manifest tool (mt.exe) to update it.

 It was indeed an antivirus lock. Sorry for taking your time with something so trivial and external to CMake but I very much appreciate it. Thank you very much for the help.
