I cannot reproduce this:

>type ..\CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
project(FOO C)
include(CheckFunctionExists)
check_function_exists(strdup HAVE_STRDUP)

>cmake .. -G"Watcom WMake"
-- The C compiler identification is Watcom
-- Check for Watcom compiler version
-- Check for working C compiler: C:/WATCOM/binnt/wcl386.exe

What is the full output on a fresh build tree when you run CMake? Does the check for working compiler pass?

Full output is here:

-- The C compiler identification is Watcom
-- The CXX compiler identification is Watcom
-- Check for Watcom compiler version
-- Check for working C compiler: C:/watcom/binnt/wcl386.exe
-- Check for working C compiler: C:/watcom/binnt/wcl386.exe -- works
-- Detecting C compiler ABI info
-- Detecting C compiler ABI info - failed
-- Check for working CXX compiler: C:/watcom/binnt/wcl386.exe
-- Check for working CXX compiler: C:/watcom/binnt/wcl386.exe -- works
-- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info
-- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - failed
-- Looking for strdup
-- Looking for strdup - not found
-- Looking for strndup
-- Looking for strndup - not found
-- Configuring done
-- Generating done

ABI info checking is failed.

The ABI check probably fails for the same reason that the strdup check incorrectly fails. Please attach a tarball of the CMakeFiles subdirectory from the top of the build tree. That contains lots of logging information about the checks. You can read CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log to look for details.

The CMakeError.log file shows errors caused by spaces in the path to CMake. While CMake normally installs into such paths it appears that support for Watcom with spaces in the path to CMake may be broken. To confirm, please try installing CMake into a path that has no spaces and run it from there. If it works then at least you'll be able to get going until this is fixed.

Confirmed. But could you fix this, since it's the default install location. Thanks.

Re 0012548:0027706: It turns out that the problematic characters are the parentheses, not the spaces. This is why it works for some people and not for others. Those running 32-bit windows do not have the parentheses in the default Program Files install location.
