[CMake] cmake 2.8.10 broke Visual Studio 10 generator for me

[Richard Browne]

Hello there.

Compiling open source project OpenCV-2.3.1 on Windows works with cmake 2.8.9. The other day I updated to cmake 2.8.10, and it stopped working. If I go back to cmake 2.8.9 it works again.

Has anyone seen this or can anyone point me in the right direction to start investigating? I'm not familiar with cmake.

The command I use is "C:> cmake cmake -G "Visual Studio 10" with a few -D defines. cmake 2.8.10 tells me the compiler is unknown:

Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 x86 tools.
-- The C compiler identification is unknown
-- The CXX compiler identification is unknown
-- Could NOT find PythonInterp (missing:  PYTHON_EXECUTABLE) 
-- Could NOT find PythonLibs (missing:  PYTHON_LIBRARIES PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIRS) 
-- Parsing 'cvconfig.h.cmake'
-- ffmpeg output dir: C:/src/play/OpenCV-2.3.1/bin/$(Configuration)
-- 
-- General configuration for opencv 2.3.1 =====================================
-- 
--     Built as dynamic libs?:     NO
--     Compiler:                   CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER-NOTFOUND
--     C++ flags (Release):             
--     C++ flags (Debug):               
--     Linker flags (Release):           
--     Linker flags (Debug):             

cmake 2.8.9 gives the expected output.
