[CMake] Generator Toolset fails

[Malfettone, Kris]

Just wanted to add some extra information.  I found a way to work around the problem by first generating with:
cmake –G "Visual Studio 11" <path_to_src>

Then reconfiguring directly after with:
cmake –G "Visual Studio 11" -DCMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET=v100 <path_to_src>


I think the key to the workaround working is that while the –T command line argument checks for changes in CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET between configuring, using the cache variable does not.  This also means the it doesn’t execute the try compile step again in the second configure step since it doesn’t think it needs to.


Any thoughts or ideas?  The double configure step is obviously annoying and brittle.

I have this same problem but didn’t see a response to this problem.  Is there a fix for it?  Or information related to it?

Hello, I'm trying to generate a Visual Studio 11 solution using v100 toolset and it is failing to compile a test program:

I run cmake -G "Visual Studio 11 Win64" -T "v100" <path to source>

-- The C compiler identification is MSVC 16.0.40219.1
-- The CXX compiler identification is MSVC 16.0.40219.1
-- Check for working C compiler using: Visual Studio 11 Win64
-- Check for working C compiler using: Visual Studio 11 Win64 -- broken
CMake Error at D:/vc11build/cmake-2.8.11/install/data/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:61 (message):
  The C compiler "c:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio
  10.0/VC/bin/x86_amd64/cl.exe" is not able to compile a simple test program.

  It fails with the following output:

   Change Dir: D:/vc11build/cmake-2.8.11/vc11w10-test/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp



  Run Build Command:C:\PROGRA~2\MICROS~3.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.com<http://devenv.com>

  Microsoft (R) Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Version 11.0.60315.1.

  The operation could not be completed.  The parameter is incorrect.

It then lists the devenv.com<http://devenv.com> usage parameters:

devenv [solutionfile | projectfile | anyfile.ext] [switches]

And so on. Finally:

  CMake will not be able to correctly generate this project.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:11 (project)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

And so on.
