<p class="MsoNormal">I used to build my own CMake binaries under
Linux and
Windows, but I got tired of having to install compatible versions of
third-party
libraries such as Qt, so I’ve been downloading the prebuilt binaries
instead. On the Linux side, I gave up on Red Hat/EPEL and RPMforge
distributions, as they are always very slow to upgrade to the latest
stable release.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">What strikes me as being very strange is that
CMake binaries
are only provided as 32-bit executables for Windows and Linux, two of
the most
popular platforms where CMake is ever-increasingly used on 64-bit
hardware.
Is there any good reason why 64-bit binaries are not provided for all
supported
operating systems?<o:p></o:p></p>

At least on Windows, you can use the 32-bit cmake binary to make 32 or
64 bit projects.<br>
