Re: [CMake] building cmake without the bootstrap step
Never mind, this tweak to the bootstrap script should take care of anything not
directly obvious. Could do with an automated test of the installed version but
the accepted version range is so large that doesn't seem to be the trouble.
```
if [ -x ${cmake_prefix_dir}/bin/cmake ] ;then
# use the existing cmake that we'll be replacing.
ln -s ${cmake_prefix_dir}/bin/cmake ${cmake_bootstrap_dir}/cmake
else
# Run make to build bootstrap cmake
if [ "x${cmake_parallel_make}" != "x" ]; then
${cmake_make_processor} ${cmake_make_flags}
else
${cmake_make_processor}
fi
RES=$?
if [ "${RES}" -ne "0" ]; then
cmake_error 9 "Problem while running ${cmake_make_processor}"
fi
fi
cd "${cmake_binary_dir}"
```
R

To finish things up here, there is thus nothing in the arguments to the bootstrap script that is crucial and cannot be set via a preexisting cmake command?

The bootstrap CMake does not have all of the capabilities of the real CMake - just enough to build CMake itself. It is intended to be used once to build the real CMake and then immediately discarded. If you want to skip bootstrapping, you can use a pre-existing CMake binary for your system to build the new CMake. This mailing list is deprecated.
