[CMake] compiling problem cmake

[Bram Kouwenberg]

hi, thnx for helping.

interesting to see you use the 251 cmake unaltered for 256 and it works. I
guess the path building problem is a mingw thing indeed. why would it
create another  CMakeFiles  in CMakeTmp? Where can I find the script that
prescribes this?

I just added a screenie of explorer and the cmake error log.

le me know if this brings to you some fresh idea's
