Hi Bill: Could you give some background information about why you create a binary version of cmake for Cygwin that is separated in time and location from the usual binaries that come with any release of cmake? Could any Cygwin user create that binary using an older Cygwin cmake binary + source code? Or are additional Cygwin-only cmake source code patches and/or special configuration required as well? IOW, is there anything special going on here or is this just a routine binary build of cmake for Cygwin users' convenience? I am interested in the requested background information because I hope to test builds of cmake, PLplot, and other software shortly under wine/Cygwin. (Similar to my earlier build tests of cmake, etc. on a wine/MinGW/MSYS platform.) My bad, I will try to be better about it in the future. I have no good excuse. :) -Bill ___ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake

But the separate nature of all the Cygwin releases (not just this one) got me curious about whether there are any special circumstances for building cmake on Cygin compared to the other platforms you cover in your normal release. If there is nothing special (i.e., bog-standard cmake on Cygwin with no special configuration or patches), please let me know as well. Alan __ Alan W.

If there is nothing special (i.e., bog-standard cmake on Cygwin with no special configuration or patches), please let me know as well. It is stock CMake. It uses CPack to create the cygwin package stuff. I have to send a few emails to get it into the setup.exe thing. But, if you just grabbed the source and did a build it would just work. If you ran cpack after, you could even have the same file that I update to cygwin. It is the few emails that slow me down, again not really a good excuse... :) With the other cmake builds, we just push them to cmake.org and we are done... -Bill ___ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
