Hmm, I now believe that we don't ship all needed files for development in the installer. IIRC, you also need the .lib files for linking and possibly the .exp(?) files for debugging symbols. So I guess you need to compile the Marble widget yourself.

You should find those files in your compilation folders and perhaps it helps to copy them to the installation folders, such that the linker can find them. Sorry that I can't help you further here since I'm not a Windows developer.

You need to tell cmake to generate *Visual Studio* project files (.sln or whatever the current extension is now).
