[CMake] CMake Problem with Visual Studio 2008 Express and Windows 7

[Conor Downey]

Hi,

I am using CMAKE for the first time and ive run into a problem. Basically i
have set where the source is and where to build the binaries. Then i add an
entry. But when i configure the program seems to have trouble finding my
compiler. I have Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition installed on a Windows 7
OS. The build log is as follows:
(one thing, in here it says the log is stored in the build directory at
...\build\CMakeFiles\CMakeTmp\cmTryCompileExec.dir\Debug\BuildLog.htm, but
that doesnt get created. Was mentioned that this could be a permissions
problem ,but im the only user on this laptop and its just in a folder in My
Documents, so it shouldnt be an issue.)

Check for working CXX compiler using: Visual Studio 9 2008
CMake Error: Remove failed on file:

CMake will not be able to correctly generate this project.

CMakeLists.txt:8 (project)
Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Does anyone have any ideas what might be going wrong. I have tried
reinstalling VC++ again but it makes no difference.

Cheers for any help,
Conor
