Support for building CMake itself with VS 6 and 7.0 (2002) was dropped recently in 'master' and is not a requirement for future contributions. It still builds with VS 7.1 (2003). > I have a dashboard that builds CMake using gcc 3.4 > IIRC 2.95 is also still supported. I don't think anyone is submitting a dashboard with 2.95 anymore. The general answer is that contributions must build cleanly on the compilers submitting to the nightly dashboard. Note that some of them are not actually building CMake anymore, but merely running the test suite to make sure targeting older compilers still works. These include: - Borland 5.x - OpenWatcom - VS 6, 7.0 They are all testing CMake binaries built with newer compilers. -Brad -- 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.
