[Cmake] Cmake 1.6 beta 2

[Ken Martin]

Hello Folks,

 

CMake 1.6 beta 2 is now available from www.cmake.org
<http://www.cmake.org/> .  The key changes from beta 1 are

 

1)       some better support for MacOSX when the new X11 libs are
installed

2)       some compile flag fixes for many platforms

3)       a significant fix for the borland compiler configuration script

4)       warnings produced when trying to access a CMake variable that
is no longer automatically computed. For example, CMAKE_SIZEOF_INT was
always computed prior to 1.6 because CMake did not have TRY_COMPILE or
TRY_RUN, and VTK/ITK/VXL etc needed that information. So it was always
computed which was time consuming even for hello world projects etc. Now
CMake can handle most anything that configure can handle so projects
that need such information should check for it themselves. There are a
bunch of nice modules in CMake to check for these types of things. And
of course you can always set CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY to 1.4 and it
will compute all the old variables.

 

Please give it a shot and let us know if you run into any problems.

 

Thanks

Ken
