Which generator are you using?
I use:
cmake -G"MinGW Makefiles" <path to source dir>

I believe the default generator on windows is Microsoft's' compilers, hence
the problem with CL.exe.

Assumptions:
This presumes standard MinGW32 compilers are available on the path - for me
this is C:\MinGW\bin
Do not put the MSYS shell (C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin) on the path as well or
CMake will complain.

You shouldn't need to set CXX or CC environment variables but you can do so
as a last resort.

Note that "make" in this case (windows command prompt) is usually:
mingw32-make, not gmake or make

Good luck,

Brett
