Hello,

If cmake doesn't find headers of the STL, this probably means
that you haven't set up the %INCLUDE% and %LIBS%

One solution is to start a command prompt

Start -> All Programs -> Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 -> Visual Studio Tools 
-> Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt

and to run cmake-gui.exe from there.

Alternatively you set these variables in the environment

Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables
