[CMake] project (name NONE) still search for a valid compiler

[David Cole]

What is the output, if you have a CMakeLists.txt file with this content:
project(xyz NONE)

And then run this command in the same dir with the CMakeLists file:
mkdir build && cd build && cmake --version && cmake .. && cd ..

Mine is:
cmake version 2.8.1
-- Configuring done
-- Generating done
-- Build files have been written to: /Users/davidcole/Desktop/xyz/build

You are correct: using "NONE" in the project statement should (and does for
me) prevent the "compiler works" testing.


HTH,
David
