Manveru,

The file config.h is automatically generated by cmake when you create
your makefiles or project files in the case of MSVC. You can regenerate
it by running "make rebuild_cache". Normally you do this to update th
SVN version because the cache only gets regenerated if one of the
CMakeList.txt files in the source changes. If config.h did not get
generated then cmake failed during the process or something in the cmake
has been broken along the way. I have not had any problems with this
in MSVS 2005, MinGW/Msys, or linux. I am using cmake 2.6.4 on windows
and linux. I have not test the lastest 2.8.0 release of cmake. For
information on how to create platform checks with cmake see:
