Hello,
 
I have built 2.2.0, 2.2.1, 2.2.5 with no problems.
 
I unpacked 2.4.0 source and created a build directory ws240-64.
 
The first issue was a complaint about cmake version 3.5 not being good enough.
have now installed cmake 3.8.2 which fixed the previous problem.  (Thank you Pascal Quantin)
 
Thank you in advance.
 
Windows 7 64-bit
