[CMake] windows link error

[Simmons, Aaron]

You're right-- msvc uses "link"; I was thinking of gcc's "ld".  I guess the question is why is it trying to use "ld" at all?  Cmake successfully detects that its using msvc/nmake, as it compiles all of the .c files with "cl".  It's the lib-linking step that falls down.

Here is my "set" output:

MSVC has no ld, MSVC's compiler is "cl.exe", the linker is called
"link.exe". So it looks like your environment is somehow strange. Can
you post the output of set?
