Weiguang,

	Here is the script I am using (bash+cygwin):

export PATH='/cygdrive/c/Program Files/CMake 
2.4/bin/:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 
2003/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows 
Server 2003 R2/Bin:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Platform SDK for 
Windows Server 2003 R2/Bin/win64':$PATH
export LIB="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 
2003\lib;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 
R2\Lib"
export INCLUDE="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 
2003\include;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 
2003 R2\Include"



	Please check that you have something similar. Once this script is 
evaluated (source), run cmake in an empty directory (do not try to rerun 
in a old binary directory).
