Hi,

after many helpful hints from other users now I was able to create a 
NMake Makefile using CMake.
I'm working in a Windows XP environment in a cmd.exe command line 
interface (shell). The CMake tool created the typical Makefile including 
the subfolders etc. in my output folder, without any errors or warnings. 
To compile my simple test project (in moment it contains only a single 
source standard C file), I call nmake.exe in my output path in the 
console. This is the same as calling nmake.exe with the parameter -f 
Makefile.

The output of the nmake build process is:
######################## snip ########################
D:\novero\Discovery\impl\target\CarIF_Appl\output\Debug>nmake -f Makefile

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility   Version 1.50
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp 1988-94. All rights reserved.

'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe' : return code '0x1'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
######################## snap ########################

I assume that there is a problem with the filename / foldername, because 
of the line:
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command...
A search over the output files from CMake including the generated 
Makefile itself shows that all references in variables are set with 
double quote (") e.g. "C:\Program Files\CMake 2.8\bin\cmake.exe".

Many thanks for your helpful comments in advance.

Br,
Martin...
