[Insight-users] Re: Cmake freezes

[Bill Hoffman]

Hi, what version of visual studio are you using?   Cmake does a series of try-compiles
to determine the capabilities of the compiler.  With visual studio, we use devenv command
line builds.  It sounds like one of those command line builds hung devenv for some reason
on your system.  My guess is if you looked at the processes, you would see a devenv, and
if you killed it, it would allow you to remove the files.   You could try an uninstall/reinstall
of devenv.  Or you could also try the nmake generator.   To use nmake you have to run cmake
from a shell that has the correct environment for running cl from the command line, a bunch
of environment stuff.   Visual studio provides a shell with all the stuff set, you would
have to run CMakeSetup from that shell.  However, I have heard of this before, and we never
really tracked it down, it just started to work after an upgrade of visual studio or something
like that.

>>>Thanks for the reply. Cmake starts out fine. At a certain point it stalls. While it does not take up 100% of the CPU, the task manager lists it as "Not-Responding". I too thought "maybe it is just slow" and waited several hours. No dice. Interestingly, after killing the application with the task manager, I cannot delete the files that Cmake produced to that point. I get a sys message:
