I tried that:

C:\rabbit-c\simpleamqpclient-build>dir %Rabbitmqc_INCLUDE_DIR%\amqp.h
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 60C2-C1FC

 Directory of c:\rabbit-c\rabbitmq-c\librabbitmq

02/15/2012  03:00 PM            14,097 amqp.h
               1 File(s)         14,097 bytes
               0 Dir(s)  36,886,913,024 bytes free

so, amqp.h is in the right place.

C:\rabbit-c\simpleamqpclient-build>dir %Rabbitmqc_LIBRARY%\rabbitmq.*
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 60C2-C1FC

.dll/.lib in the right place:

Still fails.

I'm wondering if this is even worth the effort.  (Not your wrapper,
just the cmake process).

Once I've gotten the C library itself to build (using python et al
to build the framing files), I'm tempted to just extract the .c and
.h files I need into a new Visual Studio project, and go from there.

I understand the concept of cmake (trying to get a platform independent
delivery base), but at this point, for a library with only really
10 .c and .h files, I've got at least 4 directories, the .vcproj files
have tons of -I directives, and......


Anyway, after seeing the trace above, if you have any clues, I'd
appreciate it.
