[CMake] CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set - Win7 and Visual Studio 10

[Benoît Thiébault]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to compile VTK on Windows 7 64bits with Visual Studio 10.

But when I click on "configure" in CMake, it shows the following error message:

CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "Visual Studio 10 Win64".  CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set.  You probably need to select a different build tool.
CMake Error: Could not find cmake module file:C:/Users/artenum/Downloads/vtk-5.8.0/build/CMakeFiles/2.8.10.2/CMakeCCompiler.cmake
CMake Error: Could not find cmake module file:C:/Users/artenum/Downloads/vtk-5.8.0/build/CMakeFiles/2.8.10.2/CMakeCXXCompiler.cmake
Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I looked at the CMakeVS10FindMake.cmake file located in C:\Program Files (x86)\CMake 2.8\share\cmake-2.8\Modules and found the following command:

find_program(CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM
  NAMES devenv
  HINTS
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\10.0\\Setup\\VS;EnvironmentDirectory]
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\10.0\\Setup;Dbghelp_path]
  "$ENV{ProgramFiles}/Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0/Common7/IDE"
  "$ENV{ProgramFiles}/Microsoft Visual Studio10.0/Common7/IDE"
  "$ENV{ProgramFiles}/Microsoft Visual Studio 10/Common7/IDE"
  "$ENV{ProgramFiles}/Microsoft Visual Studio10/Common7/IDE"
  "$ENV{ProgramFiles} (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0/Common7/IDE"
  "$ENV{ProgramFiles} (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio10.0/Common7/IDE"
  "$ENV{ProgramFiles} (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 10/Common7/IDE"
  "$ENV{ProgramFiles} (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio10/Common7/IDE"
  "/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0/Common7/IDE/"
  "/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 10/Common7/IDE/"
  )

Here a copy/paste of the path of my Visual Studio 10 installation (and in particular the IDE folder):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE

I should add that my Windows 7 installation is in French. This means that the "Program Files" folder is named "Programmes" (in French) but "Progam Files (x86)" is in english.

I have added the two following lines in the command to be sure, but it still does not work:
"/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0/Common7/IDE/"
"/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 10/Common7/IDE/"

What should I do?

Kind regards,

Ben
