Hi all, I had a related problem on another computer just now, this time figured out what I did wrong, and so thought that I'd send it out for benefit of others. This time, I didn't have any configuration errors as above, but I did have loads of build errors because the CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS were again all empty. What happened was the following: I installed Visual Studio for Windows (wrong!), ran CMake forcing it to use Visual Studio 2013, it loudly complained that it couldn't find the compiler, I realised my mistake and installed Visual Studio for Desktop (right!), and ran CMake, re-configuring the build. CMake was happy, but obviously the projects were faulty. The solution was simple: clear the cache, get rid of the whole build directory and start from scratch. Oh well. I hope that my struggles will help somebody else...
