Probably you did not setup the CMake configuration correctly.

If you want to avoid to do that yourself, you can relaunch the CGAL Windows 
installer, and ask it to download our precompiled LAPACK/BLAS/TAUCS 
libraries. 
Then re-run cmake for Point_set_processing_3 from an empty cache. That time 
it 
will find BLAS automatically.

If you really want to use the binaries from netlib.org, then you probably 
need 
to define BLAS_INC_DIR and BLAS_LIB_DIR in your environment variables.
