[CMake] Cmake 2.2.2 with Visual Studio 6. Bug?

[Daniel Tourde]

Hello Alexander, 


Thank you very much for your answer. It solved indeed the problem but an other 
one appeared:

Everything compiles fine but at one given moment, VS6 complains that the 
linker cannot link to libted.lib (libted being the name of my 'project'). I 
checked what had been built and I found a libted.dll... What do you think 
about that? What am I supposed to do now?
