Summary0011932: CMake configure complains "cl" is missing; won't let me redo Configure to switch compilers
DescriptionI checked out LLVM source from http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html#checkout. [^]

I opened the project with CMake and clicked Configure.

I selected Visual Studio 10, then clicked Next.

At this point, CMake attempts to configure LLVM. LLVM requires "cl", and CMake returns that information to me.

When I click Configure again, CMake won't let me change any settings. I have to quit CMake and start again.

I am not sure I see the problem. Did you try File-> Delete Cache?

I did. By the way, every time I Delete Cache, my painstakingly created Entries are also deleted.

OK, I still don't see the original problem. What is wrong with CMake using cl? Is there an error that you get?

As I said, "When I click Configure again, CMake won't let me change any settings. I have to quit CMake and start again."

The only effect of Delete Cache is to remove my Entries and allow Configure to crash again.

So, does the process hang? Do you have to kill it? What does it mean CMake won't let me change any settings?

It means after CMake reports a configuration error, CMake does not allow me to change the configuration settings in order to resolve the error.

I just checked out llvm and configured with VS 2010, seems to work for me.. I still do not understand the "does not allow me to change" part. Is the GUI process hung? Do the menus still work? I was able to configure and build llvm with VS 2010. Are there any error messages you can give me?

Can you describe the steps you took to configure with VS 2010? On my system, clicking Configure yields an error about "cl" being missing. The GUI is not hung, but CMake won't let me change the options (e.g. select NMake instead of VS) in order to resolve the problem.

AH... OK, sounds like you have a bad install of VS 2010. I am guessing you are using the free version? There are some things you have to do to get the paths and such working with the windows SDK. I think MS has some instructions. I am guessing you can not even compile with the IDE not using CMake.

I am using the paid for VS 2010, and it works with no problems.

Might help if you posted the error messages that were in the CMake configure window.

I'm using Visual Studio C++ Express. I didn't expect the free/non-free difference would matter.

Still might be helpful to see your errors. But most likely you do not have the SDK installed correctly, but without seeing your errors, I am guessing...
