Summary0007340: Can't call TRY_COMPILE before PROJECT directive.
DescriptionTo tune compiler and linker options I want to use CMAKE_USER_MAKE_RULES_OVERRIDE variable (in addition to ones provided by CMake). To determine whether compiler supports particular flags I use TRY_COMPILE command.
This works in cmake-2.4.8 but fails in cmake 2.6.0. See examples attached.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationI suppose this is caused by splitting EnableLanguage logic in CMake 2.6.

cmGlobalGenerator::EnableLanguage function:

In 2.4 after CMake(LANG)Compiler.cmake processed language becomes enabled and LanguageToOutputExtension map filled before processing CMake(LANG)Information.cmake where custom rules are called from.

In 2.6 after first stage, SetLanguageEnabledFlag called but LanguageToOutputExtension stays clean while CMake(LANG)Information.cmake is being processed, so nested call to ReadListFile() fails to get language by extension.

The extension-to-language map must be filled before loading CMake<LANG>Information.cmake since that file includes the user-override files. It must be filled after loading that file since it includes the compiler- and platform-specific settings. The solution is to just fill it both before and after.
