cmake/MSVC build error (Windows XP)

GNU Radio
1

While attempting to build GNU Radio (from git/master) on Windows XP with
cmake and Visual C++ 2010 Express, I am getting:

4>------ Build started: Project: gengen_generated_index, Configuration:

error
MSB6006: “cmd.exe” exited with code 255.

This line appears in the file gengen_generated_index.vcxproj. I suppose
it
was put there by cmake. Any ideas on how to fix or work around this? I
can
shorten the path names by building in another directory, but that seems
like
an unappealing and temporary workaround at best.

Thanks,

Can you pull master and try again? I actually way of generating it and
merged the work. This was the make -j8 thread.

That seems to fix it. Thanks (again!) for the amazing support.
