[Cmake] Determining host compiler/OS from CMake

[Parag Chandra]

Thanks, I forgot that, but I still get parse errors (different than ones
from before):

creating CMakeSystemConfig.cmake
CMake Error: Parse error in read function
In file:/cygdrive/c/development/Experimental/Mi-FormsReco/CMakeLists.txt
PROJECT (Recognition)

Here's a snippet from my CmakeLists.txt:

IF (CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER MATCHES "VC*60")
	ADD_DEFINITIONS (-D__FOO)
ELSE (CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER MATCHES "VC*60")
	ADD_DEFINITIONS (-D__BAR)
ENDIF (CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER MATCHES "VC*60")

PROJECT (Recognition)

Any ideas?

Definitely.

Unless you messed up with a copy/paste, the ENDIF should be:

ENDIF (CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER MATCHES "VC++60")
