[CMake] Compiler Test Failing on Windows 7

[Smith Jack (Ext. - UGIS - UniCredit Group)]

"The path is made from a batch script, and cmake is hardcoded to use 32bit on windows in the build scripts."

I'm no expert, but it seems like you must have something wrong in the 'batch script' (or your environment).  It looks like cmake thinks it's running on a AMD64 based system.  I think the OS architecture is *normally* auto-detected, and to mistake a 32 bit OS for a 64 bit one seems like a pretty big error.

Have you examined the script to be sure it's not misbehaving under Windows 7 - perhaps a list of known OSes doesn't include Win7 ?

I deleted the whole build directory before running the build.  There isn't any modifying of the CMakeCache.txt as far as i know.

Do you have a stale CMakeCache.txt file somewhere ?

It's *usually* perfectly safe to delete all occurrences of CMakeCache.txt within a project and have CMake regenerate them.  I say usually, because I have no idea if you are modifying that file for some reason, although the practice is not recommended.

After upgrading to windows 7, I'm getting errors when trying to run the cmake project generation step.  It seems as though I'm unable to copy a file.  I have the directory as a subdirectory of my users folder, so I didn't think it would be a permissions issue.

Here is the error:
CMake Error: Could not COPY_FILE.

Even though the path says AMD64, it's doing a 32-bit build.  The path is made from a batch script, and cmake is hardcoded to use 32bit on windows in the build scripts.

Any ideas on what the problem might be?

Thanks,
Joe
