Actually is not a compiler. It is a wrapper to generate files for different like programmes. The package is available in , You do not need to build from source. Before adding new package recommended to close all programmes. Then you should download the latest setup.exe programme (64 bit or or 32 bit version. Launch if from Windows' cmd prompt. In the "Select Packages" dialogue you can enter cmake to the "Search" edit box. If You open open the "Devel" line. Here you can check: "cmake: Cross-platform makefile generation system". Press "Next>" and Install (I think) and here you get the package...

I hope this helps!
