Great, it works this time and finds the compiler. However, I do not understand why it does not work for my project directory? Following is the output: C:\cmaketest\foo\build>cmake -G"NMake Makefiles" .. -- The C compiler identification is MSVC -- The CXX compiler identification is MSVC -- Check for CL compiler version -- Check for CL compiler version - 1500 -- Check if this is a free VC compiler -- Check if this is a free VC compiler - no -- Check CL platform -- Check CL platform - 32 bit -- Check for working C compiler: C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0/VC/bin/cl.exe -- Check for working C compiler: C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0/VC/bin/cl.exe -- works -- Detecting C compiler ABI info -- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done -- Check for working CXX compiler: C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0/VC/bin/cl.exe -- Check for working CXX compiler: C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0/VC/bin/cl.exe -- works -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done -- Configuring done -- Generating done -- Build files have been written to: C:/cmaketest/foo/build C:\cmaketest\foo\build>dir Volume in drive C has no label.
