0008775: CMake and multiple Microsoft compilers on windows
I have VC6, VS2003, VS2005 and VS2008 installed in XP with VC6 in my windows path and when I run CMake-gui with VS2005 as my generator it is displaying that the tests are being run for the VC6 compiler.

There is a thread on the mailing list about this

Looking for sys/types.h
Attached is a picture of my screen. I created a brand new build folder so there was no cache.
No tags attached.

CMake is not actually using that compiler for the tests. However, it should not try to find the full path to cl if it is an IDE generator somehow.
