[cmake-developers] cmake server mode

[michele pagot]

I'm interested in the cmake server mode. I've started from https://steveire.wordpress.com/2016/01/24/cmake-daemon-for-user-tools/ and then to  https://github.com/steveire/CMake.git and finally to the cmake official  git master branch as it seems e

I rebuilt it from scratch on Windows trying both VS2010 and MinGW. With this second one, using gcc4.8. Everything seems fine as the build works as expected and

the inline help report server mode with both compilers.

but as I try to use it:

First issue: server reported in the help even if not included

the  new feature seems to be activated only if some special compiler capability are fulfilled. So I've changed compiler to gcc5.3 and now I'm even nor able to build due to errors like:
