I think thirdparty build few things with cmake - main problem older distros have old cmake and new projects sometimes actually use new cmake features (and you probably do not want to build your own cmake - because it installs few modules for searching system-wide installed software... or at least my navie understanding of cmake tells me this - can be wrong!) -- > Cin mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.cinelerra-gg.org/mailman/listinfo/cin >
