You're welcome. Please include the CMake mailing list on all your

to a particular email in a timely manner and (2) others may benefit
from the archived replies. (Thanks...)

These "Cannot find or open the PDB file" messages are just
informational messages that tell you you don't have the debugging
files for Windows itself installed. This is normal -- most people see
this. You'll get used to this after a little while. (You could have
figured this one out pretty easily just googling for the phrase
"Cannot find or open the PDB file")

This line means your "main" returned "1" (or some code you called did
an "exit(1);" ... )

No, net yet. People have asked for this feature, but we have not
figured out a good way to do it yet.
