[CMake] FW: x64 possible using Cmake2.8.1 for VC2010Express + Windows7.1SDK ??

Tue Jun 1 15:26:56 EDT 2010

Thank you for your prompt consideration!

My OS is Vista64bit, I have VC2010Express ( Version 10.0.30319.1 RTMRel) and Windows7.1SDK installed.
"64-bit tools are not available on Visual C++ Express by default."
"To enable 64-bit tools on Visual C++ Express, install the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) in addition to Visual C++ Express."

VC++-Directories are now stored in property-pages instead of Extras/Options/Projects and Solutionfiles/VC++-Directories
Therefore non of the 64bit-issues with VC2008Express should be a problem with VC2010Express

1. Issue with VC2008Express: 
VS-Express doesn`t use the desired libraries
Reason:
the configurationtool from the SDK doesn`t work with VS2008 and VSExpress.
Workaround:
edit value "CurrentInstallFolder" in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\
to resemble path of the desired SDK, 
for example:
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\
  for use of libraries from SDK v6.0A included in VS2008
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\ 
  for use of libraries from Windows SDK for Server 2008 v6.1 

2. Issue with VC2008Express: 
VS-Express is 32bit-Application and needs a 32bit-Compiler capable of crosscompiling to 64bit-targets
Reason:  
Windows-SDK installs on 64bit-OS the native 64bit-Compiler, which is useless in this case
Workaround:  
Replace VCProjectAMD64Platform.dll in $(InstallDir)\VC\vcpackages (64Bit-Version 370KB)
by 32bit-version (283KB) from $(InstallDir)\VC\bin\x86_amd64 
In case not found there: 
DLL is also on DVD-immage in \Setup dir in vc_stdx86.cab. Beginns with FL_VCProjectAMD64Platform...

3. Issue with VC2008Express: 
"Win32" is  the only selectable plattform in Extras/Options/Projects and Solutionfiles/VC++-Directories
Reason:  
Windows-SDK installation produces registrykeys corresponding to full version of VisualStudio instead of VCExpress
 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Visual Studio\9.0\VC\VC_OBJECTS_PLATFORM_INFO]
 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\CLSID\{656d8763-2429-11d7-8bf6-00b0d03daa06}
 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\CLSID\{656d8760-2429-11d7-8bf6-00b0d03daa06}
 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\CLSID\{656d8763-2429-11d7-8bf6-00b0d03daa06}
 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\CLSID\{656d875f-2429-11d7-8bf6-00b0d03daa06}
Workaround:
Replace entries above begining with [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\...] 
-on 64bit OS by [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VCExpress\9.0...]
-on 32bit OS by [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VCExpress\9.0\...]

4. Issue with VC2008Express:
Empty list for "x64" in Extras/Options/Projects and Solutionfiles/VC++-Directories
Reason: 
Windows_SDK places file AMD64.VCPlatform.config in $(InstallDir)\VC\vcpackages
Workaround: 
Rename file AMD64.VCPlatform.config in AMD64.VCPlatform.Express.config

Conclusion for VC2010Express:
Regarding the first issue, I found some keys pointing to the Windows7.0ASDK included with VC2010Express,
but no keys in my registry resembling HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft
So just to make sure, I manually changed the values in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/MicrosoftSDKs/Windows/CurrentInstallFolder 
to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\
and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/MicrosoftSDKs/Windows/CurrentVersion 
to 7.1.7600.0.30514

Nevertheless, either Cmake or VC2010express keep complaining: " cannot open file 'kernel32.lib' "
