[CMake] Intel C Generator for Cmake?

[Tony Garratt]

I tried setting the FC and CC variables and yet cmake still wants to use
the Microsoft compiler (BTW what I am building is the CGNS - the CFD common
file format).

Is there something I am missing?

CGNS_Build>set CC=icc

CGNS_Build>set FC=ifort

CGNS_Build>set CC
CC=icc

CGNS_Build>set FC
FC=ifort

CGNS_Build>cmake   -D CMAKE_C_COMPILER:PATH=$CC   -D
CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:STRING=$CC   -D CMAKE
_Fortran_COMPILER:PATH=$FC   -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING="Release"   -D
CGNS_BUILD_SHARED:BOOL=ON   -D CGNS_ENABLE_LEGACY=ON   -D CGNS_BUIL
DCGNSTOOLS:BOOL=OFF    ..\src
