[CMake] Unable to compile a simple test program

[David Cole]

This file name: ...

rationBin\CMakeFiles\CMakeTmp\CMakeFiles\CMakeTmp\CMakeFiles\CMakeTmp\CMakeFiles\CMakeTmp\CMakeFiles\CMakeTmp\CMakeFiles\CMakeTmp\CMakeFiles\CMakeTmp\cmTryCompileExec.dir\Debug
...is 254 characters long.

Try a shorter initial directory for your source and build trees. Also:
perhaps try updating to CMake 2.4.7, it has some bug fixes in it that may
prevent the occurrence of ridiculously long file names during try
compiles...
