Why does "Could not create named generator NMake Makefiles" error occur in cmake?
Installing the Image::Scale module for Perl on Windows 7. It requires building the libjpeg-tubo library. Following these instructions , I installed visual studio 2005, cygwin, nmake and cmake, unpacked the archive with the library. Then in the cygwin terminal I execute the command:
cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
CMake Error: Could not create named generator NMake Makefiles
