[CMake] compiling problem cmake

[Bram Kouwenberg]

Hi, i want to compile an old python version from source with cmake on win 7
but during this process things go wrong with compiling a test already;
below is the error text: there's a proble creating a folder
'/cmTryCompileExec/fast'
in CmakeTmp. I don't now why. the only strange thing is in explorer I see
the following tree:


C:\python256\CMakeFiles\CMakeTmp\CMakeFiles\cmTryCompileExec.dir


it seems the config process creates another Cmakefiles folder. I have no
clue why since I'm not familiar with configuring/compiling, but it might
explain why this TryCompilefast folder cannot be created.


Anybody see what the problem is here?


tnx
