CMake Error: Internal CMake error, TryCompile configure of cmake failed

Hello,
I want to compile libnabo. I have used VS 2010 in win32. When I run CMake I have this error

@mounaattia your error seems to be related to the path in: D:/Project/build/tests/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp/CMakeLists.txt:1
the expression Files\Eigen contains a slash in the wrong direction. Also the space in Program Files is not interpreted correctly.

This seems wrong usage only. Closing it.
