Summary0010653: file(APPEND) command bombs in VS2010 64 bit re-generation
DescriptionThe following two lines in the macro
  file(REMOVE ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/lrb_generated.mak)
  file(APPEND ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/lrb_generated.mak "# This file is generated by CMake. Do not edit directly!\n")

cause the following error

4> CMake Error at CMakeLists_windows.cmake:126 (file):
4> file Internal CMake error when trying to open file:
4> C:/cygwin/home/Administrator/projects/cmake_ws/cmake_for_windows/VS2010_64/tests/smoke_xnmsg/lrb_generated.mak
4> for writing.
4> Call Stack (most recent call first):
4> tests/smoke_xnmsg/CMakeLists.txt:5 (add_lrb_test_library)


The code works OK in VS2008, but regeneration totally bombs on VS2010

That could should have nothing to do with the generator. It maybe a premission issue. CMake run from 2010 may not have the same rights as from VS 2008. What happens when you run cmake from outside of VS 2010? What are the permissions on the directory it is running? What if you run VS 2010 as admin?

I downloaded now CMake2.9 - todays build, checked permissions on the directory and started VS2010 as administrator. For some weird reason cmake insists on regenerating all projects the first time I build and has these writing errors, even though permissions are OK. Then, VS2010 goes into totally bizarre mode of trying to reload things one by one. I have to kill it and reload the solution, then things start building.

Can you create a minimal CMake project that shows this? Then attach a zip file to this bug. I assume this is VS 2010 professional of some sort.
