How easy is it to ship binaries which work on any platform without also shipping all of the necessary platform backends as well? > Now IUP only does GUI (which is another reason it stays small), so you > will need to fill in the JSON and Process requirements.

Looking at the implementation here it is…naïve at best. It uses `sh -c` instead of `exec` to do its work which means that CMake would need to do manual pipe management anyways. --Ben -- 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.
