Try running again, but put this in your environment before running:

vsconsoleoutput=1

That should give you some output on what is wrong.  Most likely it is the
but in Windows-cl.cmake.  Make sure these:
odbc32.lib odbccp32.lib

are not in CMAKE_STANDARD_LIBRARIES for that compiler.

No, it is not.  With the right flags and nmake it should work, but it does
not yet generated 64 bit windows IDE files.
