Is "deps = gcc" correct? Compiler is MSVC. If I change it to msvc it is still broken.


It looks like this:

Ok, I found the problem.

http://www.cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob_plain;f=Modules/CMakeClDeps.cmake [^]

It will check and use CMAKE_C_COMPILER only. But there is no CMAKE_C_COMPILER for a CXX project. If I change it here in CMakeClDeps to CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER it works!
Of course... it must work for both. ;-)
