I'm trying to build a project on Windows 10 - Home using VS 2010 and CMake.
I'm getting the following errors:

It fails with the following output:

Does anyone know what the cause of:

would be?
I'm assuming that's also causing the cl.exe is broken error?
The last time I had this problem was when my Visual Studio 2012 Professional standard installation did not install any Windows SDK (the error log was showing an missing SDK header).
To verify your SDK installation e.g. check that you have any Resource Compiler installed. It should be in a path similar to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v[some version]\bin\RC.Exe
Since I was missing this - or more accurate any SDK - I installed Windows 8.1 SDK (since Visual Studio 2012 does target Windows 8.x) and voila my CMake was able again to compile the (test) programs. I think for Visual Studio 2010 the default would be the Windows 7.0a SDK and for Visual Studio 2015 it would be Windows 10 SDK with Universal C Runtime.

I upgraded Visual Studio 2017 recently and now cannot open a CMake project in Qt Creator 4.8.2.
CMake succeeds to test the compiler when running from cmd.exe but fails in Qt Creator:

As you can see, the compiler path is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\HostX64\x64
However, it’s looking for the linker in the path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.10.25017\bin\HostX64\x64
So my question is: How can I update the linker path to (the only existing) 14.16.27023? Or what else should I do to continue using CMake in Qt Creator?
I’ve tried to find a corresponding option in my Qt Creator Compiler options but it claims to use the same vcvarsall.bat call which works well on command-line…

I’ve tried the following steps without any success:
add C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\HostX64\x64 to PATH as the answer to a similar question suggests
launch Qt Creator from cmd.exe after running vcvarsall.bat in the same window
upgrade CMake to the latest stable version (3.14.1)
install and try in Qt Creator 4.9.0-rc1
search for the string 14.10.25017
in the Windows Registry – no results
in the Qt Creator directory
no configuration files found
found .pdb and .lib files which likely only means they were built using this version of Visual Studio
in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio – no results
in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits – no results
After several unsuccessful guesses mentioned in the question, I succeeded to open, build and run my project after I issued
Build > Clear CMake Configuration
in the menu of Qt Creator.
I installed Visual Studio Community 2015 on a server running Windows Server 2012 R2. I confirmed that the toolchain was able to build my C++ project (which uses CMake).
I then installed Visual Studio Community 2017 and confirmed that the toolchain was working as well. However, to my dismay, I soon discovered that the 2015 toolchain was no longer working. Trying to build my project resulted in the following errors:

I am using CMake to prepare a Fortran project under Windows. I have installed some inlet Fortran compiler with VC2015, and when I cmake have the following error

My understanding of the error (correct me if I am wrong), is that cmake is using the compiler with the wrong flags, hence during the sample program compilation it just doesn't work.
How can I fix that ? (The error seems different from what I have seen in most other posts)
it happened by me when I used MinGW to compile. The solution is to choose "MinGW Makefiles" instead of Visual Studio in the configure of CMake
I have a Windows project that came with a Makefile.vc. I would like to import this into Visual Studio 10.0. My initial effort is to run nmake and invoke the cl.exe compiler.
After getting some paths straights my first run generates this message:
cl /nologo /W3 /O1 -I..\./ -I..\charset/ -I..\windows/ -I..\unix/ -I..\macosx/ /D_WINDOWS /D_WIN32_WINDOWS=0x500 /DWINVER=0x500 /DHAS_GSSAPI /DSECURITY

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\cl.EXE"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
Now I know where the VC stdio.h header is, on my PC it's at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include. So it would be a simple matter to add a -I to the makefile and include this directory.
But durn burn it I don't think I should have to! Other build systems don't make me do this and why doesn't the command line compiler know where its standard headers are installed? So I'm asking if there's a config file, an .ini file or something else that cl reads that tells it where to look for the standard C library. I've been browsing the internet and Visual Studio help with no success.
Just after I posted the question I found the answer.
Start > All Programs > Microsoft Visual 10.0 > Microsoft Visual Studio Tools > Visual Studio Command Prompt
This gives me a command prompt with all the paths, env. variables etc. set.
Why didn't I find that earlier?
I'm still new to Qt. In the past I used to download Qt on a computer and install it without any problems and I get immediate access to all Qt SDK resources including QtCreator.
Now, I downloaded Qt SDK 4.8.3 and after some reading I ended up installing Windows SDK 7. Then I extracted Qt files to C:\Qt. I also added C:\Qt\4.8.3\ to the system path. Then I ran configure which is concluded with no errors. Then I attempted to run nmake which failed with the following error:

Now I have tried the above twice with no luck. Any pointer where should I look? any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.
What are you compiling with? MSVC or mingw? If the former, I have found this link incredibly helpful...
http://www.holoborodko.com/pavel/2011/02/01/how-to-compile-qt-4-7-with-visual-studio-2010/
I have followed his instructions for 64bit and 32bit builds many times.
Edit: You have your qt build configured for a MSVC2010 (1600) build, so it's looking in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\Bin\amd64\nmake.exe" directory, which doesn't exist if you only have MSVC2012 (which is version 11.0).
Qt 4.8 doesn't officially support MSVC2012 (yet?), but if you really want to use 2012 then you can try the suggestions at this link. It's complicated, especially if this is your first source build, but seems do-able if you're willing to tinker with the Qt source code.
I had the same issue. the problem was installing visual studio 2012 on a machine with visual studio 2010.
May be this can help https://stackoverflow.com/a/15132209/1933829
Did you run configure from the 64bit tools command tool in vs?
Did you add -platform win32-msvc2010 to the configure commandline (yes even for 64bit builds you need -win32- )
