I'm trying to use CMAKE_CACHE_MAJOR_VERSION and
CMAKE_CACHE_MINOR_VERSION to determine which version of cmake is being
used, but it seems that these vars are not yet set during the first
cmake run. This is demonstrated in a simple test case below. CMake is
run twice, and you can see in the 'debug' prints are different on the
second cmake run.
Is there a better way to determine the cmake version being used?
Thanks,
Fred
