Summary

0012232: CMake possibly fails to launch devenv.com when disable8dot3 is set on NTFS

Description

CMake applies GetShortPathName() on the compiler path with the purpose to generate a space-free string - this doesn't work if the path to devenv.com a) contains a directory with spaces (which it usually does, due to the "Microsoft Visual Studio X" directory) and b) said directory was created (e.g. MSVC was installed) when disable8dot3 was set to 1.

The resulting error is rather cryptic - "Check for working C compiler" fails with the error message "%1 is not a valid Win32 application" (including the verbatim %1), as a result of CreateProcess() trying to launch the file "C:\Progra~2\Microsoft".

Additional Information

As a workaround the user can give the MSVC directory a short-name, after which cmake works fine:

> fsutil.exe behavior set disable8dot3 0
> fsutil.exe file setshortname "Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0" msvc~90
> fsutil.exe behavior set disable8dot3 1

Notes
(0030262) David Cole (manager) 2012-08-11 11:09	Sending old, never assigned issues to the backlog. (The age of the bug, plus the fact that it's never been assigned to anyone means that nobody is actively working on it...) If an issue you care about is sent to the backlog when you feel it should have been addressed in a different manner, please bring it up on the CMake mailing list for discussion. Sign up for the mailing list here, if you're not already on it: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake [^] It's easy to re-activate a bug here if you can find a CMake developer who has the bandwidth to take it on, and ferry a fix through to our 'next' branch for dashboard testing.
