1. Checked out CMake, in i:/tmp/CMake
2. Created a 'winbuild' dir inside it: i:/tmp/CMake/winbuild
3. To 2.4.2, gave source as 'i:/tmp/CMake', build destination as
'i:/tmp/CMake/winbuild'.
4. I am getting the error:

Can not find: i:/tmp/CMake/winbuild/CMakeTmp/src.c
while performing Test VA_LIST_IS_NOT_ARRAY_DEFINE

Followed with "Try Compile configure of Cmake failed."

5. A little investigation shows that only two files contain reference to
'src.c':
i:\tmp\CMake\Utilities\cmxmlrpc\CMake\TryCompileFromSource.cmake
i:\tmp\CMake\Modules\CheckCSourceCompiles.cmake

The first one tries to copy 'src2.c' to 'src.c'. There does exist the file
'src2.c' with the following contents in i:\tmp\CMake\winbuild\CMakeTmp ----
-------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdarg.h>
#include <wchar.h>

int main() { int x __attribute__((__unused__)) ; return 0; }
------
Of cource, the macros defined in these files would be used from a number of
places, so it still might be difficult to track. Does
'VA_LIST_IS_NOT_ARRAY_DEFINE' give you any hint?

6. Can try nmake only tommorow. Now closing for the day..
7. Can wait till the next release in case you don't have time to follow this
build error. I can live with the work-around till then.

Thanks,
