CMake and Visual studio 2015 - The C compiler cl.exe is not able to compile a simple test program

I am trying to compile my programme using microsoft visual studio 2015 combine with cmake on Qt creator and I get this error that I really do not know how to solve.

Running "C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\cmake.exe C:/Users/SEVLH/Documents/sodis"-GCodeBlocks - NMake Makefiles" "-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:STRING=C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0/VC/bin/amd64/cl.exe" "-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER:STRING=C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0/VC/bin/amd64/cl.exe" "-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:STRING=C:/Qt/Qt5.8.0/5.8/msvc2015_64" "-DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE:STRING=C:/Qt/Qt5.8.0/5.8/msvc2015_64/bin/qmake.exe"" in C:\Users\SEVLH\AppData\Local\Temp\qtc-cmake-Yu2EZw.
