On the CMAKE_RC_COMPILER: we saw this error as well... then it
mysteriously disappeared, we didn't manage to toggle it and document
how. It looks like there
are some variations in the way visual studio gets installed that
are relevant:

[note that the 'proposed solution' bit doesn't start until after the
rather long how-to-reproduce]
On the 64 bit problems... will look later.

FWIW, I have Visual Studio 2008 Team Edition installed here (Win XP, 32
bits), and it doesn't have an RC.EXE either. Even though
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hs24szh9.aspx suggests that
RC.EXE is included with all editions of Visual C++ 2008.
Luckily I still had a few RC.EXE's at my disc:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\RC.Exe
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin\rc.exe
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Tools\Bin\RC.Exe
So maybe you need to install Microsoft SDK...?
Kind regards,
