when using ExternalProject_Add with hand built version of cmake 2.8.2

OK, this is the tar issue I mentioned that is fixed in 2.8.3.
1. Where did the binaries come from (i.e. cmake.org, some distro?)
cmake.org
2. Does the hand build 2.8.2 work?
yes, except for the above issue.
You say the hand built 2.8.2 has the above issue. However, the binaries
from cmake.org work. It is sort of a random issue that causes the
problem. As the files are untared they get the current time stamp.
The re-running of autoconf is done when some files are out of date
compared to some other files. So, perhaps the pre-built binaries are
slower or faster and the timing is different.
Anyway, 2.8.2 will not work reliably with untar because of this issue.
As Dave Cole said:
For 2.8.1 and earlier the problem did not exist.
For 2.8.2, the problem did exist.
It should be fixed again in 2.8.3-rc2 and later.
The fact that it works with 2.8.2 binaries from cmake.org is just
good/bad luck depending on how you look at it... This is a known issue
that is fixed now. Please try 2.8.3 rc2 binary and from source to
confirm that the fix works for you.
Thanks.
