Summary0009981: refering to 0009746: Visual Studio 2010 generator does not work with VS2010 Beta2
DescriptionAs in Issue 0009746, When trying to use Visual Studio 2010 32 and 64 generator with the latest VS2010 Beta2, using the lines in CMakeVS10FindMake.cmake:

"$ENV{SYSTEMROOT}/Microsoft.NET/Framework/[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\10.0;CLR Version]/"
 "c:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework/[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\10.0;CLR Version]/"

cmake would report error in "Detecting C compiler ABI info":


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
CMake Error: Could not COPY_FILE.
  OutputFile: ''
    copyFile: 'D:/programming/libs/vtkbin/CMakeFiles/CMakeDetermineCompilerABI_C.bin'

Unable to find executable for try_compile: tried "D:/programming/libs/vtkbin/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp/cmTryCompileExec.exe" and "D:/programming/libs/vtkbin/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp/Debug/cmTryCompileExec.exe" and "D:/programming/libs/vtkbin/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp/Development/cmTryCompileExec.exe".

Detecting C compiler ABI info - done
---------------------------------------------------------------------


As indicated in Issue 0009746 the lines


< "$ENV{SYSTEMROOT}/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.0.20506/"
< c:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.0.20506/
< "$ENV{SYSTEMROOT}/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.0.21006/"
< c:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.0.21006/

fixed the problem, but only for the 32 bit generator. The 64 generator gives the following error:


----------------------------------------------------------------------

The cl check worked before exchanging the lines and it still works in the visual studio 2010 beta2 32 generator.

I don't think these bugs are related at all. In the first case it can not find MSBuild. In this case it does find MSBuild but it does not like the platform target x86. What version of CMake are you using for this?

I am using the cmake 2.8.0 binaries from cmake.org.
When I use these lines in CMakeVs10FindMake.cmake

 "$ENV{SYSTEMROOT}/Microsoft.NET/Framework/[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\10.0;CLR Version]/"
 "c:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework/[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\10.0;CLR Version]/"

the 64 b error looks like this:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Check for working C compiler: cl
Check for working C compiler: cl -- works
Detecting C compiler ABI info
CMake Error: Could not COPY_FILE.
  OutputFile: ''
    copyFile: 'D:/programming/libs/vtkbin/CMakeFiles/CMakeDetermineCompilerABI_C.bin'

Unable to find executable for try_compile:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 32 bit has no error at all anymore. Unfortunately I don't have much experience with 64 bit systems, but how do you think can changing this line changes alter both errors, if they are not connected to each other?

That is not what you said in the first message. You said you had this message:
"
  C:\Program Files
  (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Microsoft.Cpp.InvalidPlatform.Targets(23,7):
  error MSB8007: The Platform for project 'cmTryCompileExec.vcxproj' is
  invalid. Platform='x64'. You may be seeing this message because you are

  non-default Platform that doesn't exist for this project.
  [D:\programming\libs\vtkbin\CMakeFiles\CMakeTmp\cmTryCompileExec.vcxproj]"


I am now thinking that you did not install the 64 bit part of your compiler. Can you compile a 64 bit program on your machine without CMake?

Yes I can compile, but I use Visual Studio Expressin combination with the SDK compiler. That should be the problem??... Is there any way to use the SDK compiler?

You might want to try NMake Makefiles. I am not sure how to configure Visual Studio Express to use a different compiler by default. I am pretty sure the Visual Studio Express IDE can not do 64 bit out of the box as it is telling you...

Looks like it is possible, but not easy:

I am going to close this bug for CMake if that is OK with you?

CMake 2.8.3 has full support for VS 2010 Professional 32-bit and 64-bit compilers. It also supports VS 2010 Express 32-bit tools. Only VS 2010 Express 64-bit builds remain, which are discussed in issue 0010722.

I'm closing this issue.
