<DIV align="left">Hello All,</DIV><DIV align="left"><BR></DIV><DIV align="left">I've been using cmake for many years. I must admit that I have always been somewhat bothered by the complexity of it, but it hasn't really become an issue until now. When Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 came out, I upgraded in order to get some new apis I needed. When I tried a cmake based build with this new compiler, it failed with problems finding sdk libs and various resource files. I fiddled with it for a couple of days, but could not get it to work. I also spent some time searching the Internet for a solution to my problem with no luck. All I could find was some very basic responses regarding vsvars32.bat etc. I then punted and used the Borland compiler instead. I am now facing the same situation again. I need to use Visual Studio 2008 on another project. Unfortunately, I cannot use Borland this time because the libs I need will not compile under the Borland compiler. I started with a clean machine, executed the vsvars32.bat and got the same exact problem I had before. I searched the Internet again thinking surely this problem had been resolved, but apparently it hasn't. I don't feel very comfortable in investing several days hacking up cmake to get this to work. This all leads me to the following questions.</DIV><DIV align="left"><BR></DIV><DIV align="left">1. Is cmake supposed to support Visual Studio 2008 out of the box?</DIV><DIV align="left">2. If not, is there support for Visual Studio 2010?</DIV><DIV align="left">3. If not, is there a patch or fix for either of the above?</DIV><DIV align="left"><BR></DIV><DIV align="left">cmake 2.8.1</DIV><DIV align="left">msvc 2008</DIV><DIV align="left">winxp sp4</DIV><DIV align="left">Nmake Makefiles</DIV><DIV align="left"><BR></DIV><DIV align="left"><BR></DIV><DIV align="left">Thanks,</DIV><DIV align="left">-G <BR><BR></DIV></body></html>
