[CMake] CMake 2.5 - MinGW fails with NMake Mafiles

Fri Oct 19 01:03:42 EDT 2007

MinGW CMake also says it supports NMake Makefiles (actually, tons of 
formats which sounds super cool).  After compiling a MinGW CMake, I 
tried using it to compile cmake again with "NMake Makefiles" and it also 
worked.

But trying a 'NMake Makefiles' build on my project resulted in

 > cmake ../../../.. -DCMAKE_SYSTEM=Windows-5.1 
-DEXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH=/z/code/Maya/mrLiquid/BUILD/Windows-5.1-32/Release/bin 
-DLIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH=/z/code/Maya/mrLiquid/BUILD/Windows-5.1-32/Release/lib 
-DCMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=/z/code/Maya/mrLiquid/BUILD/Windows-5.1-32/Release/lib 
-DCMAKE_NATIVE_ARCH=32 -DCMAKE_BUILD_ARCH=32 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release 
-G 'NMake Makefiles'

CMake Error: This should not have happen. If you see this message, you 
are probably using a broken CMakeLists.txt file or a problematic release 
of CMake

CMake Error: Could not find cmake module

CMake Error: Internal CMake error, TryCompile configure of cmake failed

CMake Error: The C compiler "C:/Archivos de programa/Microsoft Visual 
Studio .NET 2003/Vc7/bin/cl.exe" is not able to compile a simple test 
program.

It fails with the following output:

CMake will not be able to correctly generate this project.

-- Configuring done

The generated CMakeCache.txt is attached.
