<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I was trying to use the external project add feature to add a 32-bit VC++ project on a 64-bit parent build system.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">However, I ran into problems while compiling the 32-bit project.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">“devenv” used to complain “invalid solution configuration”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I tried to explicitly set “CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE” using –D option as well as in the CMakeLists.txt.<br>
Nothing changed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">However, when I enabled “CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE”, I found that “CMAKE” was “not” passing the –G option correctly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Instead of passing <cmake –G “Visual Studio 9 2008”>, cmake was actually configuring the project as <cmake “-G Visual Studio 9 2008”><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">(Note that –G is inside the double-quote)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">When I isolate the build-step and build it manually using the correct syntax, everything works flawlessly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Specifying the generator via “CMAKE_ARGS” helps me compile. But CMAKE still appends the faulty –G syntax and
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">hence is not producing the intended results for me.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
