Do you have a concrete example where the value "LAST" for CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK leads to serious trouble? I am sorry, but none of your points convinces me that "this was a bad idea". I concede that there is a lack of documentation, and I will look at this. But without a concrete example where it is harmful I don't see any reason to change this setting. I have been struggling to get cmake well-behaved in the Fink environment for many years, long before cmake was even aware of the existence of frameworks. I do not want to go back to a situation where the 3rd party random junk that is typically installed in /Library/Frameworks/ interferes with building Fink packages. Currently there are around 260 Fink packages (not counting variants and splitoffs) that use the cmake build system, with the current default of CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK that has been set to LAST since 2 years. Without a good reason, I do not want to risk breaking any of these packages. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.
