I just worked the CMake configuration command

and my woes were definitely due to having an msys cmake in my PATH. So,
guys, the guesses that I was trying with a Windows CMake were close but not
right on. It was *bash* that was my downfall, oddly enough. The first time
I invoked cmake I didn't have a cygwin cmake, and bash found the command
late in my PATH in the MSYS tree and hashed (stored) that path, so that
even after I installed cygwin cmake it kept calling msys cmake. Msys cmake
has now gone away for a lengthy vacation and cygwin cmake is producing a
configuration that is not quite successful but at least is more complete,
with real configure errors.
Bash's `type` builtin would have told you that. `type` also tells you about
aliases and functions, unlike `which` which I haven't used for ages.
Bash's which function tells you much more:
$ which which
which ()
{
( alias; declare -f ) | command which --tty-only --read-alias \
--read-functions --show-tilde --show-dot "$@"
}
from which(1) or `info which example`. ;^>
