The problem here is likely an incorrect value of CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME in the CMakeCache.txt file. If so, that probably means you do not have a PROJECT command in your top level CMakeLists.txt file.

Simply add one, and try a fresh build. (Starting with an empty directory...)

cmake --build uses the value of CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME to figure out what sln file name to pass to Visual Studio for building.


HTH,
