[CMake] Unix Makefiles for MinGW | Generator for MinGW

Hmmm...

Thanks for your advice! But I have a problem: I tried the following:

   /DProgramme/Cmake\ 2.2/bin/cmake -GUnix Makefiles -i 
/D/Dev/Libs/VTK-5.0/Source

but it seems to hang. Nothing works...
I also tried => -G"Unix Makefiles" <= and => -G Unix Makefiles <= and => 
-G Unix\ Makefiles <= but none
of them works.

How must I write it correct?


Thanks, MB
