cmake: "Fortran Compiler not able to compile test prog."

[nikablatt]

Hello everybody,

i would like to use LAPACK in my Visual Studio 2008 C++ project (os: WinXP pro).
to install i followed the guide for Easy Windows Build ( http://icl.cs.utk.edu/lapack-for-window ... html#build ), but at the point to click "configure" in cmake something is going wrong.

here what i did and what happened:

first, i installed as Intel C and Fortran compilers: "Intel® Composer XE 2011 for Windows", "Intel® Visual Fortran Composer XE 2011 for Windows" ( from here: http://software.intel.com/en-us/article ... on-center/ )

i clicked configure in cmake, chose platform="Visual Studio Solution 9 2008 Win64", set the path to icl.exe, and all i get are these 3 outputs (in /* */ i translate the original german messages and make comments):

i could not find anything just for C and Fortran, maybe thats my fault? wich compilers do you use? the computer i work on is x64 and i downloaded also the intel compilers for x64. maybe thats the point?! you see, a have no idea of installing libraries.... :( please help!

Nikablatt,

There is currently a bug in cmake with how it tries to generate the project files for new versions of intel fortran integrated with visual studio. This is currently being worked on in cmake but in the mean time, you can use the nmake makefile generator instead.

Hello,

I'm still having this problem with the new ifort compiler (14), Visual Studio 10, and CMake 3.0.0 as well as 2.8.12.2. Is there a way to fix it?

Thank you !
Yury
