Thanks for your help, Bill. It's working now.
A previous version of Visual Studio did exist in the PATH (2005). I removed this, but this change alone did not make a difference. Even with the PATH change, the C compiler was getting picked up from the VS 2005 directory. The good news was the C++ compiler was getting picked up from the right location: the VS 2008 directory. What did work was invoking cmake at the command-line, while specifying the generator: "Visual Studio 9 2008". cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" source-dir Best Regards, Joe -----Original Message----- From: Bill Hoffman [mailto:bill.hoff...@kitware.com] Sent: 2009, October, 30 2:15 PM To: Sarbak, Joseph Cc: cmake@cmake.org Subject: Re: [CMake] Does CMake 2.6-patch 4 support MS Visual Studio 2008?

Looks like it is picking up the VS 8 instead of 9 for some reason... Do you have 8 in your PATH? The find does this: Modules/CMakeVS9FindMake.cmake: FIND_PROGRAM(CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM NAMES ${_CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM_NAMES} HINTS [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\9.0\\Setup\\VS;E nvironmentDirectory] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\9.0\\Setup;Dbghe lp_path] "$ENV{ProgramFiles}/Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0/Common7/IDE" "$ENV{ProgramFiles}/Microsoft Visual Studio9.0/Common7/IDE" "$ENV{ProgramFiles}/Microsoft Visual Studio 9/Common7/IDE" "$ENV{ProgramFiles}/Microsoft Visual Studio9/Common7/IDE" "$ENV{ProgramFiles} (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0/Common7/IDE" "$ENV{ProgramFiles} (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio9.0/Common7/IDE" "$ENV{ProgramFiles} (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 9/Common7/IDE" "$ENV{ProgramFiles} (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio9/Common7/IDE" "/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0/Common7/IDE/" "/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 9/Common7/IDE/" PATHS "$ENV{ProgramFiles} (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET/Common7/IDE" "$ENV{ProgramFiles}/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET/Common7/IDE" ) Do you have different registry entries? If you hack the above file in your CMake to point directly at the right dir for your install does it work? Note, you will have to start with a new build directory to test changes with this file. -Bill ________________________________________ This E-Mail (including any attachments) may contain privileged or confidential information.
