[CMake] Running NMake from a Cygwin Bash shell... is it possible?

[Miguel A. Figueroa-Villanueva]

Hello everyone,

Does anyone generate NMake makefiles and spawns the build from a
cygwin bash shell. If I generate Visual Studio 8 project files, then I
can use the following:

devenv8.com CMake.sln /build Release /project ALL_BUILD

from cygwin bash shell with no problems. But I can't manage to launch
the nmake makefiles from it. I can do it from a Dos shell, but not
bash. I do set the variables found in the vsvars32.bat as shown below.
I couldn't use the windows cmake to generate the NMake Makefiles, so I
tried generating the files from a Dos shell and then just using nmake
in the cygwin bash shell, but that didn't work either (ouput below).

So, my question is.... does anybody manage to work this out or are the
tools just not compatible?

Thanks,
--Miguel
