Not sure if your problem has been resolved but last time I ckecked compiling with cmake was working for mingw. This was when I fixed the "formats not being found" bug. In order to find the formats a direcotry structure like below is required though: bin/myapp.exe bin/openbqbel-2.dll lib/openbabel/BABEL_VERSION/*.obf [BABELVERSION=2.2.2, ...] If I find some time, I'll check if formats are working with ./configure too (it might require an additional preprocessor definition...
