Microsoft VS2008 doesnt use cMake. I am actually building directly from projects (*.vcproj) but even the other approach is nMake.
I have found the Non-Unix-Use document (thanks) and just wading through it to see if there are any extra options required.
I have just subscribed to pcre dev so hopefully soon I will start seeing the dialog.
Fyi, I am on Win32 XP.
Many thanks
mart

You must be using an old version cMake. Recent versions do support
Visual Studio 9 2008 and Visual Studio 9 2008 Win64. You can configure
using cmake-gui instead of cmake-setup (Philip, cmake-gui needs to be
added to Non-Unix-Use). I recall some issues were reported about
building in Win64, but I think it was with the Google wrapper, not the
pcre library or pcretest. Not sure, you might have to build as 32bit if
in Win64.
