Hi Bill:
I changed the subject line to something more appropriate and will get back
to the original subject of generated Makefile efficiency in due course.

No, that's fine, and I understood that message's implications about the lack
of full library paths in the wxwidgets component of PLplot.
IF(COMMAND CMAKE_POLICY)
CMAKE_POLICY(SET CMP0003 NEW)
ENDIF(COMMAND CMAKE_POLICY)
Thanks for that method of setting policy for the cmake cvs version in such a
way that it does not interfere with cmake-2.4.8 builds. However, I am only
go to need that temporarily until I complete the switch to full library
paths. I want those in any case for the 2.4.8 version of CMake since that
allows setting rpath appropriately if the library is in a non-standard
install location.
What do you recommend for detecting CMake version (to remove
an ugly Fortran workaround required for 2.4.x only if I am using the cvs
version of CMake)?
If your project still links with that change, then you are good. If it can
not find a library, then you either need to full path that library or add a
link_directories call to give the path for the library that can not be found.
That said, I tried to build plplot and I got errors with wxWidgets that
looked like there were missing -I stuff. So, the command line had stuff
like -I-D_WXSOMETHING, so the -D was lost and it caused an error. I have not
yet tracked down where the empty -I stuff is coming from in plplot.
Thanks for pointing out that empty -I. I will track down why the cvs
version of CMake does that (while 2.4.8 does not) and get back to you. In
any case, it sounds like this PLplot/CMake cvs problem has nothing to do
with the above issue with libraries specified without their full path name.
