[CMake] Unexpected use of "ld" on Windows

[Arjen Markus]

Hello,

I am trying to build the Fortran interface to NetCDF4 on Windows, using the Intel Fortran compiler and "Nmake Makefiles" as the generator (see http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf/index.jsp).

I had some trouble getting the first part to build, but that is solved (small issues with the code). The second part, which is supposed to build a C library that can be called from Fortran, presents a more serious problem: for some reason CMake picks parts of another toolchain to build this:

The Makefile contains these lines to compile the sources:
        cd D:\netcdf\netcdf-build-fortran\libsrc
        C:\PROGRA~2\MICROS~3.0\VC\bin\amd64\cl.exe  @<<
 /nologo $(C_FLAGS) $(C_DEFINES) /FoCMakeFiles\ncfortran.dir\fort-attio.c.obj /FdD:\netcdf\netcdf-build-fortran\libsrc\ncfortran.pdb -c D:\netcdf\netcdf-fortran-4.4.1\libsrc\fort-attio.c

But to build the library it contains:

libsrc\ncfortran.dll: d:\netcdf\netcdf-build\liblib\netcdf.lib
libsrc\ncfortran.dll: libsrc\CMakeFiles\ncfortran.dir\objects1.rsp
        @$(CMAKE_COMMAND) -E cmake_echo_color --switch=$(COLOR) --red --bold "Linking C shared library ncfortran.dll"
        cd D:\netcdf\netcdf-build-fortran\libsrc
        d:\CMake2.8.10.2\bin\cmake.exe -E vs_link_dll C:\PROGRA~2\HASKEL~1\201320~1.0\mingw\bin\ld.exe /nologo @CMakeFiles\ncfortran.dir\objects1.rsp @<<
 /out:ncfortran.dll /implib:ncfortran.lib /pdb:D:\netcdf\netcdf-build-fortran\libsrc\ncfortran.pdb /dll /version:0.0 /STACK:10000000 /INCREMENTAL:YES /machine:x64  /debug d:\netcdf\netcdf-build\liblib\netcdf.lib kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib
<<

As you can see, it has picked up a linker (ld.exe) belonging to a completely different compiler/package for this step.

I have no idea where this is coming from and how to fix this. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Regards,

Arjen
