When trying to build llvm/clang on Windows using cmake I execute from a build directory I created:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G "MinGW Makefiles" ..\llvm

only to receive:

CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "MinGW Makefiles". CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set. You probably need to select a different build tool.

I am using cmake 2.8.12.1. The doc says that "MinGW Makefiles" is a valid build type.

Why is cmake looking for and why is i failing ?

If I use "Ninja" as the build type cmake works fine.
