    Do you use the _Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt_? Usually, `cl.exe` (the compiler shipped with VS) isn't in the path. – Torbjörn Aug 09 '16 at 18:09

I can't tell if your are not using it already but if you are on Windows I would use GUI for CMake:

enter image description here

You sholud see this window when trying to configure your build and you sholud be able to pick the correct generator (Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64 in you case).

I'm getting this error when specyfing generator that is simply not installed on my machine.
