[CMake] Does CMake 2.6-patch 4 support MS Visual Studio 2008?

[Sarbak, Joseph]

Hello Bill and Shane,

Thanks for offering your help.  Below is a listing of my directory where
I have the compilers installed, my PATH=, and also two of the cached
variables Bill asked about.  I don't know how to get two (MAKECOMMAND,
and CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL) of those variables.

I appreciate your help.

Joe
 

CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=C:/PROGRA~1/MICROS~1.0/Common7/IDE/devenv.com
CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL=C:/PROGRA~1/MICROS~1.0/Common7/IDE/devenv.com

MAKECOMMAND:STRING=?
CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL:INTERNAL=?

Here are the first elements in my PATH=.  Notice VisStudio 2008 is
listed prior to any other compiler.

The environment should only matter with makefiles.  The IDE projects
should work from any environment.



This is an interesting message:

'H:\dev\esp\trunk\main\models_build_win_msvc2008\CMakeFiles\CMakeTmp\CMA
KE_TRY_COMPILE.sln'
   is from a previous version of this application and must be converted
in
   order to build in this version of the application.  To convert the
   solution, open the solution in this version of the application.


It seems that it is using a different version of devenv to build the 
project than the generator that it is creating files for.

What are these values in your cache:
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM:FILEPATH=C:/PROGRA~1/MICROS~1.0/Common7/IDE/devenv.co
m
MAKECOMMAND:STRING=C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.com 
CMake.sln /build Release /project ALL_BUILD
CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL:INTERNAL=C:/PROGRA~1/MICROS~1.0/Common7/IDE/devenv.com
