Summary0012246: CMake NMake generator /machine defect
DescriptionI have found a way to reproduce 0010695 where building with Nmake causes link failure

"No argument passed to /machine:"

The problem comes when the user does wrong the first NMake configuration
Steps To Reproduce1- Open cmake-gui without compiler environment variables (i.e. open from Start->Run...)
2- Configure a project with NMake . You will get errors complaining about not finding the compiler
3- Close cmake-gui
4- Run cmake-gui from a VS command prompt
5- Configure (without deleting cache). This time the compiler is found.
6- Build -> get the error
Additional InformationIt seems that the /machine: flag is not re-set in successive configurations even when the first failed.

Not an important bug, but can block beginners

Just as an FYI for anybody doing an investigation here...... There was a problem one day with our bug tracker, where we had to restore the database from a previous day. And in the process we lost the original bug with id 12246.

Thanks to our process, though, teh Googles Interwebz has preserved the information for us. See this mailing list archive entry for the original bug 0012246:

Sending old, never assigned issues to the backlog.

(The age of the bug, plus the fact that it's never been assigned to anyone means that nobody is actively working on it...)

If an issue you care about is sent to the backlog when you feel it should have been addressed in a different manner, please bring it up on the CMake mailing list for discussion. Sign up for the mailing list here, if you're not already on it: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake [^]

It's easy to re-activate a bug here if you can find a CMake developer who has the bandwidth to take it on, and ferry a fix through to our 'next' branch for dashboard testing.
