[CMake] CMake problem with intel parallel studio 2017

[Mamales, Petros]

Thank you very much!
I saw it to be along these lines, by doing (quite) a few "greps" and reading the documentation. The last step is the one I was trying to pin down -;)
All the best,
Petros

The -T option specifies the CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET:

  https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__cmake.org_cmake_help_v3.9_variable_CMAKE-5FGENERATOR-5FTOOLSET.html&d=DwIC-g&c=j-EkbjBYwkAB4f8ZbVn1Fw&r=6_wuzZXSt4ORpgK3tgk-CcUFf9XSS7xAF6v69MPzaXs&m=ndEV5F8r4x5YENtVn3zcQE4_UrdFQ64ciZs23R-67tc&s=kHqrsGxWzTErzhOGTW390ytAG-PjpuE7WW1uxM7hEoM&e= 

That value tells the VS generator what to put in the PlatformToolset field of .vcxproj files.  This influences how the compiler identification source is compiled, and that uses preprocessor logic to detect the compiler id and version based on predefined macros.  The resulting compiler id is used to decide which compiler/platform information modules to load.
