The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=15363 ====================================================================== Reported By: Moshe Rubin Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 15363 Category: CMake Reproducibility: always Severity: major Priority: high Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2015-01-21 13:45 EST Last Modified: 2015-01-21 13:45 EST ====================================================================== Summary: CMake 3.1.0 with "Visual Studio 12 2013 ARM" generator for WP8.1 fails to compile simple test program if path length > 91 chars Description: When running CMake with the "Visual Studio 12 2013 ARM" generator to create a Windows Phone 8.1 project file, the run will fail with the message:
<quote> The C compiler "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0/VC/bin/x86_arm/cl.exe" is not able to compile a simple test program. </quote> I have been able to confirm that CMake will fail consistently if the full path to the folder from which CMake is being run is greater than ninety (90) characters. If equal to, or less, than 90 characters, the run succeeds. I have only been able to consistently reproduce this problem with the "Visual Studio 12 2013 ARM" generator. Steps to Reproduce: I attach a Windows batch file called "cmake-mantis.bat" that will reproduce the two cases, successful and unsuccessful. Here are the steps: (1) Copy the Windows batch file "cmake-matis.bat" to any folder in the file system. (2) "cd" to above folder. (3) To reproduce an unsuccessful run, execute the following command: cmake-mantis.bat bad In this case, the folder from where CMake is execute is: %TEMP%\CMakeTest\12345678901234567890\12345678901234567890\12345678901234567890\12345678901234567890\12345678901234567890 (4) To reproduce a successful run, execute the following command: cmake-mantis.bat good In this case, the folder from which CMake is executed is: %TEMP%\CMakeTest (5) The batch file leaves the try_compile build trees intact for debugging purposes. Additional Information: I added the "--trace" command line option for both the 'good' and the 'bad' runs and have uploaded them as the files "foo.good" and "foo.bad". Doing a diff on them both shows the following strange phenomenon: both logs are essentially identical (except for folder names) until foo.good:2649 and foo.bad:2650. At this point, inexplicably, CMAKE_C_COMPILER_WORKS is TRUE in foo.good but FALSE in goo.bad: Starting at line 2649 in foo.good: <snippet> C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.1/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake(56): if(NOT CMAKE_C_COMPILER_WORKS ) C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.1/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake(65): else() C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.1/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake(66): if(C_TEST_WAS_RUN ) C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.1/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake(67): PrintTestCompilerStatus(C -- works ) C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.1/Modules/CMakeTestCompilerCommon.cmake(16): if(CMAKE_GENERATOR MATCHES Make ) C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.1/Modules/CMakeTestCompilerCommon.cmake(18): else() C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.1/Modules/CMakeTestCompilerCommon.cmake(19): message(STATUS Check for working ${LANG} compiler using: ${CMAKE_GENERATOR}${MSG} ) -- Check for working C compiler using: Visual Studio 12 2013 ARM -- works </snippet> Starting at line 2650 in foo.bad: <snippet> C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.1/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake(56): if(NOT CMAKE_C_COMPILER_WORKS ) C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.1/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake(57): PrintTestCompilerStatus(C -- broken ) C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.1/Modules/CMakeTestCompilerCommon.cmake(16): if(CMAKE_GENERATOR MATCHES Make ) C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.1/Modules/CMakeTestCompilerCommon.cmake(18): else() C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.1/Modules/CMakeTestCompilerCommon.cmake(19): message(STATUS Check for working ${LANG} compiler using: ${CMAKE_GENERATOR}${MSG} ) -- Check for working C compiler using: Visual Studio 12 2013 ARM -- broken </snippet> There are no differences in the traces leading up to these points to explain the discrepancy. ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2015-01-21 13:45 Moshe Rubin New Issue ====================================================================== -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
