Here is my recommendation:
Rebuild CMake with a CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX of /Applications/CMake
(with the Qt option)
sudo make install
remove the cmake stuff from /usr/local/*
After cmake builds and installs you will need to ensure that you have
write permissions to /opt/local/bin.
Launch CMake-Gui.app and use the GUI menu to create the sym links for
you.
The main problem is that typically /usr/local needs higher privs than
admin on OS X (depending on how it was setup). The CMake-GUI app does
NOT take advantage of the authentication framework in OS X to
authenticate you as an admin so trying to create the symlinks where
the active user does NOT have write permissions will fail **.
The way I have done this is to "install" cmake into /Applications/
CMake. Make /Applications/CMake writable by everyone, then have CMake-
GUI create the symlinks in /Applications/CMake. Then add /
Applications/CMake to your PATH variable AHEAD of /opt/local/bin.
Just my 2 cents.
** I guess I should look at how to implement that and submit a patch***
*** Not that I am volunteering to write the code.. ;-) (yet)

I've got a cvs checkout of CMake-2-6-1.
I created a build directory and configured first for a Qt GUI. The
build completed and installed into /usr/local/CMake 2.6-1.app/.
Then, to ensure this version is in the default Applications directory:
sudo cp -rf /usr/local/CMake* /Applications/
I then tried to use the GUI interface to create symlinks for the
command line (Tools > Install for Command Line Use), but it failed.
I then reconfigured the build for a curses interface, built, and
installed that. It installed:
-- Installing: /usr/local/bin/ccmake
-- Installing: /usr/local/bin/cmake
-- Installing: /usr/local/bin/cmakexbuild
-- Installing: /usr/local/bin/cpack
-- Installing: /usr/local/bin/ctest
That's fine, but on this OSX system, cmake was first installed by
macports into /opt/local/bin/ and this is the first entry on the
$PATH. So I could re-route the path or overwrite the macports
install with symlinks to this build (I prefer the latter).
Is there a command line utility or a make instruction to create all
the symlinks? Does it have an option to specify the root bin
directory? Something like:
make symlinks /usr/bin
or
make symlinks /opt/local/bin
Thanks, Darren
