Hi all,

I have as simple a CMakeLists.txt as possible:

ADD_EXECUTABLE(comp_err comp_err.c)

I did these two commands:

$ set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
$ cmake -G "NMake Makefiles"

I got this:

Building C object extra/CMakeFiles/comp_err.dir/comp_err.c.obj
comp_err.c
Linking C executable comp_err.exe
LINK : fatal error LNK1146: no argument specified with option '/machine:'
LINK failed. with 2
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\CMake

Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual

Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual 
Studio 9.0\VC\BIN\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

Is it something I'm doing wrong, or should I report a bug on this?

I'm on a 64 bit Windows 7 with Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition.

Bo.
