Do you know if is called "lemon.exe" and is on the path by default? If it
isn't on the path, then CMake might have difficulty finding it. You can try
passing "-DLEMON=<path>" in the CMake command line and I believe it will
use that path instead of searching for it. Other than that, I might need
Jon to take a look at it since he has a MSVC setup currently I believe (but
we are relying on the built-in CMake FindLemon script, not our own).
