Hi

Thanx for your answer. I am using MSVC 6 . I' ll try to check of the service
pack.

when CMAke stops it still uses CPU. Curiously, I managed to build by
stopping one MSdev process which was running (which gives error at CMake)
and restart configure step by step until it finally works without stopping.

Thanks
