Does not make a "Visual Studio 9 2008 Win64". The folder does exist
relative from my working directory "C:\OpenGL\OpenSceneGraph\trunk". But
not from the cmake directory "C:\OpenGL\cmake-2.6.1-win32-x86\bin"
By putting in the full path for "Where is the source code" =
"C:\OpenGL\OpenSceneGraph\trunk" the CMakeSetup goes further. Then I run
into the issue of using "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0/VC/bin/amd64/cl.exe" as the compiler and linker for a 64 bit machine and
the following error dialog appears:

(MESSAGE):
The C compiler "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio

It fails with the following output:

Invalid project
Use:
vcexpress [solutionfile | projectfile | anyfile.ext] [switches]
The first argument for devenv is usually a solution file or project file.
You can also use any other file as the first argument if you want to have
the
file open automatically in an editor. When you enter a project file, the
IDE
looks for an .sln file with the same base name as the project file in the
parent directory for the project file. If no such .sln file exists, then
the
IDE looks for a single .sln file that references the project. If no such
single
.sln file exists, then the IDE creates an unsaved solution with a default
.sln
file name that has the same base name as the project file.
Command line builds:
devenv solutionfile.sln /build [ solutionconfig ] [ /project
projectnameorfile [ /projectconfig name ] ]
Available command line switches:
/Log Logs IDE activity to the specified file for troubleshooting.
/ResetSettings Restores the IDE's default settings, optionally resets
to
the specified VSSettings file.
/SafeMode Launches the IDE in safe mode loading minimal windows.
Product-specific switches:
/debugexe Open the specified executable to be debugged. The
remainder of the command line is passed to this
executable as its arguments.
/useenv Use PATH, INCLUDE, LIBPATH, and LIB environment variables
instead of IDE paths for VC++ builds.
To attach the debugger from the command line, use:
VsJITDebugger.exe -p <pid>

Post by Bill HoffmanPost by Roger MartinSetting the full path fixes it. I'm wondering, on relative paths, if the
cmake home/bin directory is the root.
Yes, ./ is the current directory of the project from where I run a cmd
script.
------------
With the paths fixed as you pointed out, I then get an error dialog with ...
The C compiler "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0/VC/bin/amd64/cl.exe" is not able to compile a simple test program.
...
But by hand-build-environment, I can compile and link a 64 bit program
with cl.exe and the Windows SDK
I use Netbeans and Visual C++ 2008 Express IDE's.
But for some complex projects such as http://www.openscenegraph.org CMake
is the right tool.
I am still not quite following what works for you and what does not work
for you. Can you describe when the ./ does not work and what steps you
take?
Also, for the compiler not working, can you give the full error message?
If possible send the CMakeCache.txt and the CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log and
CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log files.
You do have to run CMake from an environment that works. So, running
CMakeSetup from the start menu may cause trouble if the global PATH and env
is not correct.
