[CMake] Visual Studio 2012 Express for WD and cmake 2.8.9

[Glenn Coombs]

Hi,

I just installed the Visual Studio 2012 Express edition for Windows Desktop
and cmake 2.8.9 is having some issues with it.  Initially when I ran the
cmake configure step it failed to find the devenv or msbuild program:

CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "Visual Studio
11". CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set. You probably need to select a different
build tool.

I then edited the CMakeVS11FindMake.cmake file to tell it to use the same
MSBuild that the VS2012 command prompt uses
(C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.0.30319):

IF(NOT CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING)
  FIND_PROGRAM(CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM
    NAMES MSBuild
    HINTS

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\11.0\\Setup\\VS;ProductDir]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\WDExpress\\11.0\\Setup\\VS;ProductDir]

"$ENV{SYSTEMROOT}/Microsoft.NET/Framework/[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\11.0;CLR
Version]/"

"c:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework/[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\11.0;CLR
Version]/"

"$ENV{SYSTEMROOT}/Microsoft.NET/Framework/[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VCExpress\\11.0;CLR
Version]/"
    "C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.0.30319"
)
ENDIF()

and that gets me a bit further.  The error message is now:

Check for working C compiler using: Visual Studio 11

Is it possible to hack an existing cmake 2.8.9 install to work with VS2012
Express or am I going to have to wait for cmake 2.8.10 ?
