I am following this tutorial to build QGIS (32 bit) from source on a Windows 8 (64 bit) machine using Visual Studio 2008 (Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition).
CMAKE gives some warnings, but finally configures & generates. But then when I do a BUILD_ALL in VS, I have many errors. The CMAKE dump is as below. Where am I going wrong?

CMake Warning (dev) at cmake/SIPMacros.cmake:131 (GET_TARGET_PROPERTY):
Policy CMP0026 is not set: Disallow use of the LOCATION target property.
Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0026" for policy details. Use the cmake_policy
command to set the policy and suppress this warning.
The LOCATION property should not be read from target
"python_module_qgis__core". Use the target name directly with
add_custom_command, or use the generator expression $<TARGET_FILE>, as
appropriate.
