I ran vsvars32.bat, then
cmake srcdir -G "NMake Makefiles"

The new error includes:
CMake Error: your C compiler: "cl" was not found.   Please set CMAKE_C_COMPILER
to a valid compiler path or name.

I searched for cl.exe and it was not found. Some googling looks like
it is supposed to come with the .NET frame work - but I have 3.5
installed but it is still missing...

Thoughts?

Thanks,
