The 'Readme.txt' for the Windows source distribution says:
"You need to download and install a binary release of CMake in order to
build CMake."
Unlike UNIX/Mac, the Windows source can't be bootstrapped...
I assume the Readme.txt is accurate? Any plans to change this?
No plans to change this. I just can not see a use case where it would
make it worth while to maintain a bootstrap build file for CMake. You
can always bootstrap CMake from a previous version, and we even create
nightly binaries. If I was to do some sort of bootstrap, I would just
include some version of the cmake binary with the CMake source. In the
far distant past we had an nmake file, but that was 8 or so years ago...
I don't see it coming back again... :)
