> At the moment I would recommend people who want cmake on OS X to
download it from kitware and make sure that the `cmake` command is in
their `PATH`. We could put some words of that effect in `spkg-install`. I
don't see this working on OS X anytime soon. We would need a breakthrough
with `gcc` or `clang`.
I won't be surprised if this cmake won't be useful within Sage, as it
might assume too much of the native OSX toolchain.
cmake was mentioned by me in a GSoC 2015 discussion regarding getting
CSymPy into Sage; I expressed my doubts that cmake, which is used to
configure CSymPy, is easy to deal with in Sage, based on some vague
memories about cmake/Sage difficulties I saw. Now I recall that that was
about building cmake in Sage on OSX.
