I'm no expert in cmake, but IIRC environment variables are accessed as
$ENV{NAME_OF_VARIABLE}, so in
your case $ENV{EXTERN_DEV}.

It may also help to declare the cmake variables with their type FILEPATH: e.g.
for the first one:
ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR:FILEPATH=$ENV{EXTERN_DEV}

It looks like as if the environment variable wasn't expanded in these paths.
If my guesses above don't help, I recommend looking for a CMake function
which explicitly resolves file paths to absolute path form (to call where
ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR etc. are defined). Then even CMake functionality which
doesn't resolve environment variables should handle them correctly.

With my suggestions (I haven't tested them, I don't use Windows, sorry) it
should only be necessary to have CMake automatically generate the VS solution
again after a change of the environment variable.

I hope my suggestions help you.
