        That seems a bit misleading - I'd rather say that running
        cmake does the
        "configure" step and then make does the "build" step.


    No it doesn't.  You still need to run make.

    Note that LFS does not have any packages that use cmake, but BLFS
    does.


Yes, that's what I was trying to say. I guess I forgot to mark that the paragraph starting "Some projects use cmake..." is a quote from the web page - sorry about that.

All great suggestions in this thread - thanks. I'll update the page tomorrow.

Simon
