[cmake-developers] reopen bug report

[Patrick Spendrin]

Hi,

as I already hit this bug myself and today somebody asked on IRC again I
wanted to bring up this bug report:

http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=11303

The problem is that cmake is a 32 bit application which by default won't
look into the 64 bit registry space. If I build a 64 bit application I
need to have the 64 bit version of the pythonlibs though, so cmake
should also find those.

I haven't tested yet whether cmake itself is capable of reading the 64
bit registry space, but I would guess not.

I cannot really think of a good solution for that, simply because cmake
needs to know the 32/64bitness of the compiler, and at least for gcc it
does not do so?

regards,
Patrick
