[Qgis-developer] CMake on Windows

[Martin Dobias]

Hi,

as you can see, the default generator for Windows is generator for
visual studio. Thus you need to say explicitly:
cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" c:\dev\cpp\qgis.latest
(notice the double quotes to parse it as one argument.

On windows there's nothing like default path for libraries and include
directories - that's the reason why you have to set the paths
explicitly for the dependencies. (However in future we can decide that
c:\msys is our default path for windows build and it will detect
everything automatically as it does on unix.

Good luck,
Martin
