[Cmake] CMake, first steps

[Bill Hoffman]

I have a new theory about what went wrong.
This message can happen if there is no
CMakeLists.txt file in the source directory.
(The message has been fixed in CVS to say
that there was no CMakeLists.txt file found in
the source directory specified.)  That fix should
be in the next version of CMake.

So, my theory is that you have a spelling error
in the name of your CMakeLists.txt file.  If you could
check this or post the file if that is not the
problem, your evening may not have been in vain, as
it may help someone else.

Thanks.
