[cfe-dev] llvm and clang: trying to "cmake" a "Visual Studio 10"

[Gordon Keiser]

This is likely being caused by trying to execute CMake inside the source directory.   Try creating an empty directory somewhere, say "llvm-build" and run CMake from that directory, and point it at the source.   I don't think LLVM plays very well with in-tree builds.

CMake 2.8 works fine with every version of VS I've tried it with here.   Running from a VS command line shouldn't usually be necessary.
