[CMake] Problems with CMake on 64-bit Vista

[Tanguy Krotoff]

Hi all

I have the exact same problem: a message complaining about a bad
side-by-side configuration.
I have this on a fresh VM with XP 64bits and Visual Studio 2008 SP1.

I do have the 32bits debug version of msvcr90d.dll and friends inside
C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8_x-ww_597c3456

I don't have any 64bits debug version of msvcr90d.dll and friends
inside C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS
I don't have a directory called something like
C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\amd64_Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT

So I've added C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\VC\redist\Debug_NonRedist\amd64\Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT
to my PATH.
Using cmake --debug-trycompile, running cmTryCompileExec.exe gives me
side-by-side error.
If I copy-paste msvcr90d.dll and friends inside the directory where
cmTryCompileExec.exe is then it works.

What I don't understand is why try_run() compiles in debug mode.
And I can't manage to make try_run() compile in release mode (that
will solve all my problems), I don't know how to overwrite the flags
specified in the file
CMakeFiles\CMakeTmp\CMakeFiles\cmTryCompileExec.dir\flags.make


So the simple question is: how to make try_run() compile in release
mode instead of debug mode?


Thanks in advance
