The problem is probably in my own head because I tend to define "work" as the ability to completely compile AND pass a testsuite. Which means that by that definition GCC never "works" but it gets pretty close. Perhaps "close" is good enough for now however I won't actually install whatever I have into a production system until it passes all the tests. So for the moment I have : $ /usr/local/bin/git clone --verbose git://cmake.org/cmake.git Cloning into 'cmake'... remote: Counting objects: 162805, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (41649/41649), done. remote: Total 162805 (delta 124692), reused 157825 (delta 119979) Receiving objects: 100% (162805/162805), 37.37 MiB | 953.00 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (124692/124692), done. Checking connectivity... done. Checking out files: 100% (7410/7410), done. What I need to do now is figure out a simple sequence of steps. I figure I'll need to tar up that result and move it to a build area, then use autoconf tools to generate a configure script or some such set of magic. dev -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
