I am using Visual studio 2008 on Windows 7, and I get the following
error, when choosing the "WIN64 VISUAL STUDIO 9.0 2008"option in the
native compilers:

CMake Error at C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake
2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeTestCXXCompiler.cmake:45 (MESSAGE):
  The C++ compiler "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio
  10.0/VC/bin/amd64/cl.exe" is not able to compile a simple test program.

  It fails with the following output:

AFAIK, the Win64 is working OK, and x64 components,and the
aforementioned cl.exe file exists... Also, I do manage to generate for
VS2010, but I don't want to use it. What can be the problem here?
also, why AMD? I have an intel processor..

Thanks,
Amir.
