[CMake] cmake not found

I was abbreviating for conciseness on the path.  I've tried running this in  
an MSYS cmd window and get the same error.

I've spent the morning trying to dump out as many environment variables that  
may be related as possible.

This is really frustrating as the build just works on Linux...

I guess the "/cygdrive/e/workspace/GSDesignGUI" must be from the MSYS make
program then...

Are you really doing a "cmake ../src/explorergui" from the root of the E:
drive? Or were you just abbreviating in your email?

Has anybody else seen this error with the MSYS Makefiles generator?

The E:> suggests you're running it in a Windows command prompt. Are you
running in an MSYS prompt? If not, try it from an MSYS prompt, and let us
know how that goes.
