ADIOS 2.7.0: Configuration errors with CMake 3.12 or 3.13

[dqwu]

The minimum CMake version required by ADIOS 2.7.0 is 3.12 cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.12)

However, some errors occurred when configuring ADIOS 2.7.0 with CMake 3.12 or 3.13. CMake 3.14 or higher versions work.

It seems that ADIOS 2.7.0 needs to require CMake 3.14 as the minimum version for configuration.

This issue is reproducible on ANL Blues cluster and some other DOE supercomputers.

Steps to reproduce this issue on a login node of blues.lcrc.anl.gov:

module load cmake/3.13.4-354d6wl

wget https://github.com/ornladios/ADIOS2/archive/v2.7.0.tar.gz
tar zxf v2.7.0.tar.gz

cd ADIOS2-2.7.0
mkdir build
cd build

Have you tried not using the MPI compiler wrappers? The way CMake interacts with MPI it's expected that you use the "regular" compilers, letting CMake figure out the necessary MPI bits.
