Hello Steve, I checked what option value is expected for /machine on my system and the file "build.make" generated by CMake contain a setting like: /machine:X86
Can you check in any of these files on your system what value they contain? I do not know where CMake is getting the values from but they are inserted via the Windows_cl.cmake template in the directory Modules\Platform. Regards, Arjen On 2011-10-25 02:04, Alan W.
