I do not get this error but that's easy to fix. Maybe a MSys specific requirement.

> cmake is incredibly cryptic, can't say my first experience with it has been positive. Building cmake itself, on the other hand, was quite easy- just the standard ./configure –prefix=??, make, make install.

You don't need to build cmake on windows, simply install. Then you can call cmakesetup, select the src tree, select mingw as target and that's it :) All can be done using a normal DOS console (cmd.exe) without using MSys.

I'm writing a tutorial in our wiki (documentation section). It should help to get it work.

> I couldn't find a way to persuade it to find the PNG library

If the PNG lib and include direcorties are in the CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH and CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH, it should find it. Have you tried using what I describe here:
