[CMake] NMake X64 VS 8.0

Fri Jul 7 09:21:17 EDT 2006

I am having some problems building a 64 bit version of my application 
using the NMake generator on 64 bit Windows with Visual Studio 8.0.

I am using the Microsoft Platform SDK command prompts that can be opened 
through the start menu. I can use the "Visual Studio 8 2005" generator 
just fine. However, when I am in an IA64 environment I get this:

The C compiler "cl" is not able to compile a simple test program.
It fails with the following output:

When I am in an AMD64 environment I get something similar:

and from a 32 or 64 bit environment, I cannot use the Visual Studio 
generator at all:

It fails with the following output:

Invalid project

Use:
devenv  [solutionfile | projectfile | anyfile.ext]  [switches]

The first argument for devenv is usually a solution file or project file.
You can also use any other file as the first argument if you want to 
have the
file open automatically in an editor. When you enter a project file, the IDE
looks for an .sln file with the same base name as the project file in the
parent directory for the project file. If no such .sln file exists, then the
IDE looks for a single .sln file that references the project. If no such 
single
.sln file exists, then the IDE creates an unsaved solution with a 
default .sln
file name that has the same base name as the project file.

Command line builds:
devenv solutionfile.sln /build solutionconfig [ /project 
projectnameorfile [ /pr
ojectconfig name ] ]
Available command line switches:

/Build          Builds the solution or project with the specified solution
                configuration. For example "Debug". If multiple platforms
                are possible, the configuration name must be enclosed in 
quotes
                and contain platform name. For example: "Debug|Win32".
/Clean          Deletes build outputs.
/Command        Starts the IDE and executes the command.
/Deploy         Builds and then deploys the specified build configuration.
/Edit           Opens the specified files in a running instance of this
                application. If there are no running instances, it will
                start a new instance with a simplified window layout.
/LCID           Sets the default language in the IDE for the UI.
/Log            Logs IDE activity to the specified file for troubleshooting.
/NoVSIP         Disables the VSIP developer's license key for VSIP testing.
/Out            Appends the build log to a specified file.
/Project        Specifies the project to build, clean, or deploy.
                Must be used with /Build, /Rebuild, /Clean, or /Deploy.
/ProjectConfig  Overrides the project configuration specified in the 
solution
                configuration. For example "Debug". If multiple 
platforms are
                possible, the configuration name must be enclosed in quotes
                and contain platform name. For example: "Debug|Win32".
                Must be used with /Project.
/Rebuild        Cleans and then builds the solution or project with the
                specified configuration.
/ResetAddin     Removes commands and command UI associated with the 
specified Ad
d-in.
/ResetSettings  Restores the IDE's default settings, optionally resets to
                the specified VSSettings file.
/ResetSkipPkgs  Clears all SkipLoading tags added to VSPackages.
/Run            Compiles and runs the specified solution.
/RunExit        Compiles and runs the specified solution then closes the 
IDE.
/SafeMode       Launches the IDE in safe mode loading minimal windows.
/Upgrade        Upgrades the project or the solution and all projects in it.
                A backup of these files will be created as appropriate.  
Please
                see Help on 'Visual Studio Conversion Wizard' for more
                information on the backup process.

Product-specific switches:

/debugexe       Open the specified executable to be debugged. The
                remainder of the command line is passed to this
                executable as its arguments.
/useenv         Use PATH, INCLUDE, LIBPATH, and LIB environment variables
                instead of IDE paths for VC++ builds.

To attach the debugger from the command line, use:
        VsJITDebugger.exe -p <pid>

What am I doing wrong?
