Yes, I know this [1] thread is old, but it hurts me, too. This is what I found: The mingw32 installer (mingw32-get, IIRC) no longer places a key in the windows registry.
So if anyone installed mingw32 in a directory other than c:/MinGW/, cmake will not find it. After adding the bin directory of the mingw install location to %PATH%, cmake will detect mingw32-make, but it will complain saying 'the compiler is not able to build a single program'. This happens because cc1.exe (which is *not* in the bin directory) cannot find the DLLs located in the bin directory. You have to manually copy the DLLs to the directory containing cc1.exe. Maybe someone finds this useful.
