I've run cmake on my project's CMakeLists.txt file (generated from my 
visual studio project by Jesper's script) as follows:

C:\Work\Demo\TestTexturePlugin\CMakeLists.txt
C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MAPI\1033>cmake -G"NMake Makefiles" 
C:\Work\Demo\TestTexturePlugin\CMakeLists.txt

Result:
-- Check for CL compiler version
-- Check for CL compiler version - 1310
-- Check if this is a free VC compiler
-- Check if this is a free VC compiler - no
-- Check CL platform
-- Check CL platform - 32 bit

-- Build files have been written to: C:/Work/Demo/TestTexturePlugin

The directory C:\Work\Demo\TestTexturePlugin\CMakeFiles now contains, 
among other files, Makefile2, which I assume is the NMake Makefile, and 
Makefile.cmake. Where can I find more information about these files. I'm 
not sure which files I need to perform the migration to eclipse.

Oddly, running cmake on my project directory fails i.e.:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MAPI\1033>cmake -G"NMake Makefiles" 
C:\Work\Demo\TestTexturePlugin

produces the familiar list of errors.

Build tree: the directory hierarchy in which all generated files are 
placed ...
