[CMake] Choosing Toolset v140 for Generator VS 15 2017 Win64

Fri Jun 9 10:05:59 EDT 2017

Hi Robert,
Thank you for your response.
However, this mail was superseded by another one - actually this being my first email to the mailing list I received notification that it would not get published as I was not yet a member.
As it turns out, it does find the toolset (I am very curious as to how, actually, as I spent considerable time to second-guess it). However the compiler fails to generate code due to missing libraries when it tries to perform its tests.
Any idea on how I can provide with extra include/lib directories through CMake to the "tester"(MSBuild?)? (all these happen upon declaration of a project as a c++ one).
Here is the ouput I get in the error log (copying from my follow-up email):
Compiling the CXX compiler identification source file "CMakeCXXCompilerId.cpp" failed.
Compiler:

The output was:

Build FAILED.

Thank you for trying to help,

Hi,

Can you provide the contents of the build directory file CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log . That might help us figure out why the toolset is not found
