[CMake] cmTryCompileExec.exe crashes CMake 2.6

[Carl Trapani]

Hi All,

I'm trying to get a buildable VTK 5.0.4 Eclipse CDT 4 project using 
CMake 2.6 and the Eclipse CDT4 - MinGW Makefiles generator. I ran 
CMakeSetup.exe by clicking on the Start Menu icon. I selected the 
following source and build directories:

C:\projects\vtk\vtk-5.0.4-src
C:\projects\vtk\vtk-5.0.4-build

I hit the configure button and get a "stopped working" dialog with the 
following details:

----BEGIN APP CRASH INFO----------

I select "Close the program", but CMake continues to configure. I 
accepted the values by hitting Configure again and then hit Ok to get a 
buildable project. A Warning message is displayed and then the program 
exists (no successfully built message?). But, when I try and import the 
Eclipse project, I get errors.

I've got MinGW 5.1.4 installed with the following components as 
indicated in the installed.ini file:

----BEGIN MinGW installed.ini --------------------
[settings]

runtime=mingw-runtime-3.14.tar.gz

I'm running Vista.

Can anyone offer some advice or suggest alternatives? I'm going to try 
the Visual Studio 2008 generator next. Maybe that will work?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice you might have.
