Are you running cmake from a shell that has the environment setup 
correctly for cl to work?


foo.cxx
#include <iostream>
int main() { std::cout << "hello\n";}

cl foo.cxx

Does that work for you?

What version of the compiler did you install?  The commercial versions 
of the compiler have a VS command prompt under the tools menu that you 
can use to create a shell with the correct env to run the compiler.
