I've started documenting it:

http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/wiki#Source


However, "Building on Windows with CMake" article is still missing.

In the meantime...
Basically, it's not a rocket science and if you have any experience with
CMake-based builds, you will find your way.

You can use friendly CMake GUI:

http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/runningcmake.html

0) Install CMake 2.6 or later.
1) Point GEOS sources location
2) Point build output folder (strongly recommended outside sources tree)
3) Click Configure and if you see no red error messages click OK or
Generate button depending on CMake version you use
4) Go to location specified in 2) and load GEOS.sln to the IDE
5) Build

Please, report any problems here or by submitting tickets to Trac.

Best regards,
