In VS it setups the environment to run CC from the command line.


For now, I've created this bug:

CMake should support default installation of Xcode.app only, without
'command line tools' extras
<http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=13408>

I am not sure I agree with the statement.  CMake has always required
that the command line tools that it uses be in the environment.  I
really don't see how CMake could technically use xcrun to configure an
environment correctly so that things would work.  On all platforms CMake
requires the environment to work from the command line.

Well, I don't know enough about how cmake works internally, but I was under the 
impression that it looks for things in certain well-known places in hopes of 
finding them.  I just greped the code for 'usr/local/bin' and here's an example 
of what I mean:

   set(gp_cmd_paths ${gp_cmd_paths}
     "C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0/VC/bin"
     "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0/VC/bin"
     "C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/VC/BIN"
     "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/VC/BIN"
     "C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003/VC7/BIN"
     "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003/VC7/BIN"
     "/usr/local/bin"
     "/usr/bin"
     )

That is to find ONE executable, devenv. We do that to find Xcode. However, to find an entire tool chain for a compiler is a whole different story.


Is this not a trial-and-error way of finding which folder holds the
sought item?  Wouldn't it be a matter of extending this facility?
(Not that I'm saying it would be trivial to do so...)
Perhaps these tests should only be run conditional on the presence
of
PackageMaker instead of allowed to fail hard?

This we might be able to fix.

Cool.  Shall I create a bug for that?

Sure.
