I was able to edit CMakeCache.txt and CPackConfig.cmake (with CMake GUI

I changed
CMAKE_GENERATOR:INTERNAL=Visual Studio 10 2010 Win64
to
CMAKE_GENERATOR:INTERNAL=Visual Studio 10 2010
and then in general looked for the string "64" and made appropriate changes.
I then started CMake GUI, noted that the "Current Generator" was to my
liking, and did Configure and Generate steps again.
You can not change the generator. It is better to remove the entire
build tree. Out of source builds are a best practice with CMake. Once
a build tree has been configured with one compiler, it must be
completely removed to change to a new compiler. You are changing from
32 bit to 64 bit, this means that all the try-compile stuff needs to be
re-run as the answers are likely to be different.
All in all, doesn't seem that it would be too hard for CMake devs to
implement a function to do this, but IMO Cmake is a mistake anyway, I only
use it when forced (e.g., OpenCV.) CMake butchers MS Visual Studio project
files, and makes it much harder to maintain projects that use it. Which I
guess is kind of the opposite of the intended effect. More intelligent use
of existing macros for both make and MSVS would go a long way to making it
useful.
Thanks for the praise... :) CMake creates VS projects that should
work to build the project that is the goal. I don't understand about
make and MSVS, CMake can create makefiles or ninja files if that is what
you are talking about.
