I have met this problem, and I fixed by this way. You should run cmake in a console, command like

>vcvars32  (to set some system vars, C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\vcvar32.bat)

>cmake .. -G"NMake Makefiles" (.. is your code folder) 

>nmake  (It will work well!)

You should do this jod in one console, don't open another.
