What strikes me as being very strange is that CMake binaries are only
provided as 32-bit executables for Windows and Linux, two of the most
popular platforms where CMake is ever-increasingly used on 64-bit hardware.
Is there any good reason why 64-bit binaries are not provided for all
supported operating systems?
As David answered about constrained ressources, may be we can setup
a "user-provided" set of CMake build in some public site?
Not sure I agree with David... :)
It is not a resource issue. I just don't see the need? What good is a
64 bit CMake? On Apple someone wanted to a 64 bit CMake, and I had
them do bench marks, and not noticeable difference could be discerned
between them. So, maybe this is just a marketing thing? We should
make sure it is very clear that a 32 bit CMake can be used to build 64
bit applications. Perhaps I am missing something, but I have yet to see
a good argument for why a 64 bit CMake would be needed for any reason.
