I' m trying to use CMake to compile OpenSceneGraph:
at present I' m testing the MSYS generator: some questions:
1) I see that the file CMakeMSYSFindMake.cmake is rensponsible of 
finding the msys make: is it possible to specify the location inside the 
project?
I would like to let user install MSYS WITHOUT admninstration privilege, 
so either the registry or C:/msys/1.0 is non satisfactory
2) during the build, the make process constructs extremely length path 
names that gives problems when run on fat32 filesystems (empirically 
found). I see the full path of source is
mirrored inside CMakeFiles folders (even the drive letters, translating 
":" to "_". Can i set up some CMake var to avoid it?
3) my cmake configure step, under windows is much more slow than Linux, 
is it to be expected?
4)Is a support for DevCpp planned?


Thanks in advance and compliments for your great work
