You need to use a 32 bit version of cmake to configure and generate.

Open up cmake-gui,
set the source folder to where you put the git.

set the binary folder to a location you want to build cmake. Note:
this should not be in the same folder as the source.

Then configure. cmake will ask you to select the compiler.

After this you want to build cmake-gui as well. There is a
configuration option for that. Also cmake probably will not find Qt so
you need to set the location of qmake to a 64 bit build of Qt. You
will most likely have to build that since nokia does not supply 64 bit
windows binaries.

Then generate.

This will create a visual studio project in the binary folder.
