[CMake] cmake generators on windows: nmake versus jom

Wed Jul 21 10:59:31 EDT 2010

Hi Arjen,

This may be totally the wrong direction, but we have seen similar errors
that appear to be caused by resident programs that crawl the local
filesystem.  Desktop search engines (Microsoft or Google) or anti-virus
software may try to open your build files (including temporary files) for
indexing and have the side effect of locking CMake out.  You might try
disabling your antivirus or desktop search tools while running CMake.

Subject: [CMake] cmake generators on windows: nmake versus jom

Hi,

I'm having trouble generating the Makefiles I want on Windows. I can't
generate "Unix Makefiles" because cmake fails to compile a simple program.
But also using generators that should be very much alike, "NMake Makefiles"
and "NMake Makefiles JOM", the first will finish and the second will not.
This is on a fresh install (Virtual machine) with Ifort 8.1, MSVC++ 7.1 and
cmake 2.8.2, no specials.

Is it normal for generators to be this picky? Is there documentation on this
subject? While browsing email archives I've read that "cmake assumes your
compiler works" but I guess there's more going on under the hood than a mere
compilation check.

Thanks,

Arjen
