By the way, I give the cmake command to get the same build as with the
full cmake script:
cmake ..\blender -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
-DWITH_BUILDINFO=ON -DWITH_BULLET=ON -DWITH_CODEC_AVI=ON
-DWITH_CODEC_FFMPEG=ON -DWITH_CODEC_SNDFILE=ON -DWITH_CYCLES=ON
-DWITH_CYCLES_OSL=ON -DWITH_FFTW3=ON -DWITH_LIBMV=ON
-DWITH_LIBMV_SCHUR_SPECIALIZATIONS=ON -DWITH_GAMEENGINE=ON
-DWITH_COMPOSITOR=ON -DWITH_FREESTYLE=ON -DWITH_GHOST_XDND=ON
-DWITH_IK_SOLVER=ON -DWITH_IK_ITASC=ON -DWITH_IMAGE_CINEON=ON
-DWITH_IMAGE_DDS=ON -DWITH_IMAGE_FRAMESERVER=ON -DWITH_IMAGE_HDR=ON
-DWITH_IMAGE_OPENEXR=ON -DWITH_IMAGE_OPENJPEG=ON -DWITH_IMAGE_REDCODE=ON
