Yes, I agree. > 2) Should targets generation be an option ?

We can require that the names be unique across componnts, component groups, and install types. > 4) How could I make a patch ? With a write access to cmake SVN ? CMake uses CVS. You can get CMake from CVS, make your changes in that version, and then use "cvs diff -u" to create a patch that one of the CMake developers could review and apply. This would be a great help to the CMake community! - Doug _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list [email protected] http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
