Steve, let me guess: the group you care about, who can't/won't install binaries or allow binaries in the source tree, is using Visual Studio on Windows... right? :-)<br><br><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 9:09 AM, Bill Hoffman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bill.hoffman@kitware.com">bill.hoffman@kitware.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

The 'Readme.txt' for the Windows source distribution says:<br>
<br>
"You need to download and install a binary release of CMake in order to build CMake."<br>
<br>
Unlike UNIX/Mac, the Windows source can't be bootstrapped...<br>
<br>
I assume the Readme.txt is accurate? Any plans to change this?<br>

No plans to change this. I just can not see a use case where it would make it worth while to maintain a bootstrap build file for CMake. You can always bootstrap CMake from a previous version, and we even create nightly binaries. If I was to do some sort of bootstrap, I would just include some version of the cmake binary with the CMake source. In the far distant past we had an nmake file, but that was 8 or so years ago... I don't see it coming back again... :)<br>
