Summary0015334: CMake cannot work
DescriptionI installed the latest CMake from Binary and try to test it with a very simple project, but there're some error in console:

-------------------Console output---------------------------------

-- The C compiler identification is unknown
CMake Error at /home/jhuang/local/package/cmake-3.1.0-Linux-x86_64/share/cmake-3 .1/Modules/CMakeDetermineCCompiler.cmake:172 (configure_file):
  configure_file Problem configuring file
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:2 (project)


-- The CXX compiler identification is unknown
CMake Error at /home/jhuang/local/package/cmake-3.1.0-Linux-x86_64/share/cmake-3 .1/Modules/CMakeDetermineCXXCompiler.cmake:170 (configure_file):
  configure_file Problem configuring file
Call Stack (most recent call first):

-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc
CMake Error at /home/jhuang/local/package/cmake-3.1.0-Linux-x86_64/share/cmake-3 .1/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:47 (try_compile):
  Unknown extension ".c" for file

    /home/jhuang/cmake_test/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp/testCCompiler.c

  try_compile() works only for enabled languages. Currently these are:

    C CXX

  See project() command to enable other languages.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:2 (project)


-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc -- broken
CMake Error at /home/jhuang/local/package/cmake-3.1.0-Linux-x86_64/share/cmake-3 .1/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:61 (message):
  The C compiler "/usr/bin/cc" is not able to compile a simple test program.

  It fails with the following output:





  CMake will not be able to correctly generate this project.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:2 (project)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/home/jhuang/cmake_test/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
See also "/home/jhuang/cmake_test/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log".
-------------------Console output---------------------------------

Following is the 172 in CMakeDetermineCCompiler.cmake
# configure variables set in this file for fast reload later on
configure_file(${CMAKE_ROOT}/Modules/CMakeCCompiler.cmake.in
  ${CMAKE_PLATFORM_INFO_DIR}/CMakeCCompiler.cmake
  @ONLY
  )

Why there's an CMakeERROR on this line, no any hints, even in the CMakeOutput.log and CMakeError.log

Well, the first question I'd have is: do you actually have a working C compiler installed? Because the line "Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc -- broken" says that CMake thinks you don't.

Sure, I have a can-work C compiler installed, I tried it with a simple c program, and the Cpp compiler installed is also can-work.

The "configure_file Problem configuring file" error message is not very informative by itself. It is reported by configure_file whenever cmMakefile::ConfigureFile returns 0. That method is here:

 http://www.cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Source/cmMakefile.cxx;hb=v3.1.0#l3926 [^]

Most of the code paths that return 0 contain a more informative error message. It looks like if cmSystemTools::CopyFileIfDifferent fails then the call sites in ConfigureFile do not report any error message. Internally that calls SystemTools::CopyFileAlways which is low level and expects the caller to deal with failure. That is here:

 http://www.cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Source/kwsys/SystemTools.cxx;hb=v3.1.0#l2211 [^]

Check that file permissions are set such that CMake can read all of its own sources and write to the build tree.
