I'm trying to generate a Unix style (or NMake) Makefile that I can use to port my visual studio project to eclipse. I've tried running cmake on the project directory with the -G"Unix Makefiles" and -G"NMake Makefiles" option, but its not working -- I'm getting lots of errors. Apparently, I'm missing a number of variables. How can I set these variables? I'd still like to use the Microsoft compiler *but* within the eclipse environment.

You need to setup the MS compile to work from the command line. The easy way is to run the visual studio command prompt from the start menu under visual studio tools. Then run cmake from that shell, and it should work.

Thanks Bill.

Do you mean I should start the command prompt and run devenv or something like that? I dont understand what you mean by "run the visual studio command prompt from the start menu under visual studio tools". Am I to launch the command shell from/within visual studio?

The command prompt can be found from your start menu: Start Menu -> All Programs -> Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 -> Visual Studio Tools -> Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt.

This will give you a regular windows command prompt with all environment variables set up in order for you to be able to run the command-line studio tools (cl, nmake, vcbuild, etc.)
