[CMake] VS8 and cmake 2.2.3 [Fwd: RE: [Fwd: visual studio 2005 free version]]

[Asmodehn Shade]

Hi all,

Just to confirm I have the same problem here... CMake 2.2.3

Fresh install of VS8Express + PSDK (option environment variable checked ON).
Was able to build the win32 template (from the command line) and run it.
I have checked my paths, I can access cl from the command line, I can access
cmake too, but something in between doesnt do it. Same from the CMakeSetup
GUI of course.

Event from the Visual express command line which should have all the
environement variables set up properly, I get the same error. And the
CMakeError.log just says :

>Determining if the C compiler works failed with the following output:

Is there any way I can get more information on what actually happened ?
Someone found more clues ?

Cheers,
