CMake (Win64): problems finding message compiler

I tried to build trunk on Windows x64 with Visual Studio Express 2012 and SDK 7.1, and ran into the problem when CMake picks up Cygwin's Midnight Commander instead of the real message compiler.

The following patch fixed this problem:

diff --git a/CMakeLists.txt b/CMakeLists.txt index 64a51af..415ac7d 100644 --- a/CMakeLists.txt +++ b/CMakeLists.txt @@ -506,13 +506,16 @@ else (UNIX)

this path is only present for 2008+, but we currently require PATH to

 # be set up anyway
 get_filename_component(sdk_dir "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows;CurrentInstallFolder]" REALPATH)

• get_filename_component(kit_dir "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Kits\Installed Roots;KitsRoot]" REALPATH) if (X64) set(sdk_bindir "${sdk_dir}/bin/x64")
• set(kit_bindir "${kit_dir}/bin/x64") else (X64) set(sdk_bindir "${sdk_dir}/bin")
• set(kit_bindir "${kit_dir}/bin/x86") endif (X64) endif ()
• find_program(CMAKE_MC_COMPILER mc.exe HINTS "${sdk_bindir}"
• find_program(CMAKE_MC_COMPILER mc.exe HINTS "${sdk_bindir}" "${kit_bindir}" DOC "path to message compiler") if (NOT CMAKE_MC_COMPILER) message(FATAL_ERROR "message compiler not found: required to build")

Cygwin vs VS Professional is documented on HowToBuild .wiki:

"Note that you need Visual Studio's bin directories on your PATH before Cygwin's as there are conflicts: both have mc.exe and link.exe."
