However, there should not a problem using cygwin with nmake.  Most of my 
cmake development is done with visual studio and cygwin gmake, used to 
be nmake before dual core machines came out, and nmake does not handle 
parallel builds.

Is this a valid path on your machine: 
WX_adv:FILEPATH=/wxWidgets-2.8.7/lib/vc_lib/wxmsw28_adv.lib ?

Mathieu, where is wx*.lib located on your machine?
