Although not requiring installation of Xcode's command-line tools would be nice, at a minimum, CMake's runtime, or at least its installer, should check for any needed prerequisites and inform the user if a prerequisite is missing. I've spent several hours in the last few days trying to figure out why CMake 2.8.8 just wouldn't work on a new Mac, until someone pointed out to me that it was necessary to install Xcode's command-line tools. The error messages I received from CMake just added to the confusion.
Just curious what would an autotools or makefile based project do on a new mac? I am guessing it will not print anything other than, there is no compiler found. That said we will try to make cmake print a helpful message or work out of the box. I am just wondering how other projects are handling the sudden disappearance of the compiler from the command line... (it has been there since the very first OSX Mac...)
