Hello, I want to build cmake from the sources, on a Linux platform. Now it seems I have the choice between
cmake-2.4.6-Linux-i386.tar.gz and cmake-2.4.6.tar.gz ?? Intuitively, I would go for the second choice (called "Unix Linefeed Source", where I have no clue what the "Linefeed" stands for), since Unix normally includes Linux, and a generic name like "cmake-2.4.6.tar.gz" is similar to for example the gcc- or doxygen-packages-names. However what then is that Linux-package good for?? I know that "i386" stands for some architecture, but I don't know whether my platforms are such or not, and I also expect the build process to find out on its own, without me having to specify this implementation detail?? (When building gcc, or, say, make, it does not bother the user with such details.) I have purchased the book, but neither there nor on the web page anything is said about which package to use when (just "follow the instructions", but there are none). I couldn't make good use of the search functions for the e-mail lists neither (always end up with some google search). Any hint would be appreciated. Thanks Oliver _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list [email protected] http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
