Hi Dwight, I don't know whether there is tuturial about CMake but those red lines indicate some variables that are required/suggested. If you are familiar with configure scripts on linux/unix, red lines are analogous to --with-PKG=path_to_dependency or --enable-FEATURE (if I recall correctly).
Warnings better be fixed. I've encountered several warnings during my first attempt because I passed path to directories containing libraries instead of full path to file. For instance, full path to jpeg library is I:\Program Files\GnuWin32\lib\jpeg.lib for me. If you see warnings or errors during configure, it's likely that generated solution file (configuration) may be broken. Aside; either compile 3rd party libraries with your Visual C run-time version or obtain them from Internet. Using another version of C run-time usually causes trouble. If you give us some screenshots or text output of warnings/error you encounter during CMake, I am sure we could resolve issue.
