[CMake] wxWidgets on Win32 (MSW)

[Werner Smekal]

Hi Mathieu,

first I would use the standard Windows CLI and not cygwin, if you intend 
to use VC++ and NMake. I normally tell cmake where to find the correct 
version of wxWidgets via

-DwxWidgets_LIB_DIR=path_to_lib_dir -DwxWidgets_CONFIGURATION=msw

In addition regarding your output, this line

 > wxWidgets_wxrc_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=wxWidgets_wxrc_EXECUTABLE-NOTFOUND

suggests, that you need to add the path to wxrc to the standard PATH 
environment variable. But I don't use you combination of tools, and 
would also suggest not to do so. VC++ and NMake are native Win32 tools 
and there is no need to use cygwin.

Regards,
Werner
