A similar error also occurs in 2.0.33 and 2.0.36RC1. If there's an easy solution you know of for the dllimport issue, please do share, as it would fix my problems.

Building cmake from source wasn't hard, as mentioned. I just found *using* it to be difficult. I'm not sure if the build from source generated the GUI- I haven't seen it yet. If you think the GUI interface might be more successful, I can try this out.

I'll keep an eye out.

My attempts to set CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH and CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH can be found in the bi-win-gd-cvs-any file above. I used README.CMAKE for ideas when I was experimenting. Unfortunately I was unsuccessful. My best attempt can be found in my previous post.
