-- The C compiler identification is MSVC 19.0.24215.1
-- The CXX compiler identification is MSVC 19.0.24215.1
-- Check for working C compiler: C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual
Studio 14.0/VC/bin/amd64/cl.exe
-- Check for working C compiler: C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual
Studio 14.0/VC/bin/amd64/cl.exe -- works

-- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done
-- Check for working CXX compiler: C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual
Studio 14.0/VC/bin/amd64/cl.exe
-- Check for working CXX compiler: C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual
Studio 14.0/VC/bin/amd64/cl.exe -- works

do this first.

set PreferredToolArchitecture=x64
