Summary0008516: Failled to test C compiler with MinGW
DescriptionI was trying to generate Code::Blocks project using CMake 2.6.2-patch2 and this is failling with error like the one in the log provided as additional information.

I tested with other generators using MinGW, and they all fails with the exact same error.
I also tested with the nightly build of CMake 2.7 of a few days ago, the same thing happen.

I now use the latest MinGW and utils freshly downloaded but I originaly tried with the MinGW embedded into Code::Blocks 8.02, same happen on both.

As I'm reading the log again, I just remarks that there is a "é" in the path to the written file, so I just tested on a new directory without such character and it's working.

I'm not sure if it's a CMake or MinGW bug but as I found it with CMake I report it there.

After having successfuly generated the Code::Blocks project file, I opened it and tried to compile the project.

The result is a failure because it fails to get the source files which where also on a path containing a "é".
So I also moved the source dir to something whitout such character and it worked nicely.

I took the time to get a closer look on the generated files, the problem is that those files are UTF-8 encoded and so are the differents filename, which on Windows is incorrect as the filesystem store filenames in another encoding.

Maybe the bug is upstream as MinGW should maybe convert filenames and directories in the system encoding ?

Can you try setting LC_ALL=POSIX and LC_MESSAGES=C before running CMake?

I still get the same error.

Can you compile a file in this directory:
PropriÚtaire

Without CMake?

gcc -c C:\Documents and Settings\PropriÚtaire\foo.c

If not, then this is not a CMake bug, and there is nothing that can be done from CMake.

I tried 3 differents way to do this, they all succeded to compile foo.c.
The two firsts one are :
- In console being in the directory of foo.c and running gcc -o foo.exe foo.c
- In console being in C:\ and running gcc -o "C:\Documents and Settings\Propriétaire\Mes documents\Lasmea\foo.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\Propriétaire\Mes documents\Lasmea\foo.c"

But in those case, the "é" is correctly encoded as it's the Windows shell that generate it (either beeing in th current working directory or as the parameter).

The other test I did was using Code::Blocks, and it's working fine too. So Code::Blocks generate correctly encoded strings, meaning that it's possible for CMake too I guess.


Now I'm looking back at the log, and I see that at some places CMake generate correctly encoded string as all the first lines are actualy good.
CMake is able to create the directories "C:/Documents and Settings/Propriétaire/Mes documents/Lasmea/Essai/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp" and go into it.

But when it tries to write the test file "testCCompiler.c" in this directory, then it use a badly encoded string resulting in a failure to create it (there is no such file in this directory).

Maybe the bug is only around the creation of this test file ?

Try this:

In an empty directory:

cd newdir
cmake -G "The generator you are using" --debug-trycompile

Obviously replace the above string with the generator that is causing you the trouble...

This will leave the temporary files in place. You can then do this:

cd CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp

make

That will run the makefile that is failing. If you can figure out how to fix that makefile that might help.

Looks like the best way to get this working, would be to install CMake into a directory that does not have international chars in it.

The bug is still not fixed with the latest cmake.

here is an example of output
