I am trying to compile my programme using microsoft visual studio 2015 combine with cmake on Qt creator and I get this error that I really do not know how to solve.

Running "C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\cmake.exe C:/Users/SEVLH/Documents/sodis"-GCodeBlocks - NMake Makefiles" "-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:STRING=C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0/VC/bin/amd64/cl.exe" "-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER:STRING=C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0/VC/bin/amd64/cl.exe" "-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:STRING=C:/Qt/Qt5.8.0/5.8/msvc2015_64" "-DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE:STRING=C:/Qt/Qt5.8.0/5.8/msvc2015_64/bin/qmake.exe"" in C:\Users\SEVLH\AppData\Local\Temp\qtc-cmake-Yu2EZw.

The C compiler "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0/VC/bin/amd64/cl.exe" is not able to compile a simple test program.

It fails with the following output:

  • Perhaps it is this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30553318/cmake-cl-exe-is-not-able-to-compile-a-simple-test-program – drescherjm Jul 19 '17 at 14:19
  • I already tried but it still does not work. – andresouris Jul 19 '17 at 14:25
  • Are you running this as a normal user in a Visual Studio 2015 command prompt ( 32 or 64 bit)? – drescherjm Jul 19 '17 at 14:27
  • ***NMAKE : fatal error U1045: spawn failed : Invalid argument*** Seems to be the problem. I am unfamiliar with this error. – drescherjm Jul 19 '17 at 14:27
  • `I am trying to compile my programme using microsoft visual studio 2015` - If so, why do you use "CodeBlocks - NMake Makefiles" [CMake generator](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.7/manual/cmake-generators.7.html)? Use "Visual Studio 14 2015" generator instead. – Tsyvarev Jul 19 '17 at 20:28

I solve it adding jom.exe to the path

I solved this problem for Visual Studio 2019 and QT 5.14.1 (Qt creator 4.11.0) by changing CMake generator in Tools > Options > Kits to Ninja.
