As it deals with compiling VTK, I'm thinking maybe some of you have a solution. Can't you specify the location of the make program in CMake-gui? That is until a better solution is worked out.

Re: [CMake] [vtkusers] Fwd: CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set - Win7 and Visual Studio 10
The question is: what is the location of the make program? If I remember correctly, on Windows XP, I did not have to install MinGW to compile VTK. Just Visual Studio Express was required. Do I have to install MinGW? Not unless you want to move your development to MinGW. Or is it provided by VS? This should be devenv.com or msbuild.exe (located in your system .NET location). However I believe the express version of VisualStudio does not work with MSBuild so make it the location of devenv.com A more general question, what is the recommended way to compile VTK on Windows? I am not sure about recommended however I build vtk from the command line via a Visual Studio command prompt. I first configure VTK to turn off shared libraries because I want to avoid having to copy dlls around. cmake --build PathToBuildFolderForVTK --config Debug cmake --build PathToBuildFolderForVTK --config Release cmake --build PathToBuildFolderForVTK --config RelWithDebInfo After that I do not install VTK. Since the INSTALL will only install a single configuration. I instead point my own projects that use cmake to use the vtk build folder as VTK_DIR and CMake is happy to set it up so that my debug configurations will use debug vtk libs and my release applications will use release vtk libs.
