If it doesn't go away you could try to reproduce using a small CMakeLists.txt file to confirm the character limit problem. It's entirely possible it could also be something with Visual Studio or your machine. There is this thread, but I don't think it's your problem. http://www.mail-archive.com/cm...@cmake.org/msg15377.html -- Philip Lowman
