[sldev] Could not create named generator Visual Studio 8 2005

Trying to build Windows version of 1.23.4. When I run develop.py from the
indra directory I get this:

$ python develop.py -G VC80
Running 'cmake -G "Visual Studio 8 2005" -DUNATTENDED:BOOl=OFF
-DSTANDALONE:BOOL=OFF -DROOT_PROJECT_NAME:STRING=SecondLife ""
"c:\\sl\\sl_1_23_4\\linden\\indra"' in 'build-VC80'
CMake Error: Could not create named generator Visual Studio 8 2005
Cleaning 'build-VC80'
Error: the command 'cmake' exited with status 256

google tells me someone else had this problem and Robin suggested...

So I did...

$ ./vcvars32.bat

c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin>"C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat"
Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 x86 tools.

But this doesn't change anything. Still getting the error when I run
develop.py.

Any ideas?

FWIW I have no built-vc80 directory, and no vcproj files anywhere. Should I,
or is develop.py going to create those?

Thanks.
