I hadn't used `cmake --trace` before. When running it, I can see that the process gets stuck in "/usr/share/cmake-3.3.1/Modules/CMakeDetermineSystem.cmake(48): exec_program(uname ARGS -s OUTPUT_VARIABLE CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_NAME )" I've manipulated that cmake file to use a static system name, and the problem now arises in "Modules/CMakeDetermineCompilerId.cmake" at execute_process(COMMAND ${CMAKE_${lang}_COMPILER} ${CMAKE_${lang}_COMPILER_ID_ARG1} ${CMAKE_${lang}_COMPILER_ID_FLAGS_LIST} ${testflags} ${src} WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_${lang}_COMPILER_ID_DIR} OUTPUT_VARIABLE CMAKE_${lang}_COMPILER_ID_OUTPUT ERROR_VARIABLE CMAKE_${lang}_COMPILER_ID_OUTPUT RESULT_VARIABLE CMAKE_${lang}_COMPILER_ID_RESULT ) It looks as though there is a problem with `execute_process` (and the deprecated `exec_program`). I haven't tried uninstalling the Win32 version of CMake, but it's definitely the CygWin version that is running.
