I will not be at my windows machine for several day where I've been
trying cmake in MinGW; but I think I had the same problem you have run
into. I think the path construction is very sensitive, have your tried

Error when bootstrapping CMake:<br>
Problem while running initial CMake<br>
---------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
My path is set to:<br>
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/opt/perl/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/c/util<br>
<br>
I have the msys version of make at /bin/make.exe and my compiler is at<br>
/mingw/bin/gcc.exe<br>
<br>
I tried searching on the web and the cmake mailing list for<br>
instructions to build cmake with mingw and msys, but nothing I found<br>
shed any light on fixing this issue. (I also tried running<br>
./bootstrap without the extra configuration switches. Same problem.)<br>
What are the appropriate steps to get cmake to build using msys? Is<br>
there anything I can do to prevent the error during building? Any<br>
help in getting this to build properly would be greatly appreciated.<br>
Thanks.<br>
