CMake's build of libarchive does not enable built-in lzma support. Libarchive responds by trying to run a command-line tool to handle the data, probably "xz" in this case. Something about the MSYS xz trying to run from inside a CMake process environment may cause the problem. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers
