[CMake] Dart server - which source?

Dan,

Thanks for the reply, Dart is great, keep up the good work.

Sorry about cross posting, with my focus on CMake I naturally posted
here, I'll join the Dart list as well.

A stupid question, assuming you didn't install Dart, how do you tell
what version it is? I'd recommend adding a footer to the web server to
promote your public web site and include the version.

OK, I now understand the situation, I look forward to any updates.

This is of particular interest to me, as we're migrating our embedded
development platform from VC6 / cross-compiler / VSS (yuk!) to Eclipse /
MinGW gcc / cross-compiler / Subversion / CMake / Dart.

It appears that lcov (HTML front-end to gcov) won't run under MSYS (and
I can't use Cygwin for my build for various reasons) so I currently have
no "pretty" gcov output file solution. If anyone knows of anything that
will run under MSYS I'd be very interested.

I concur, setting up Java Dart was fairly easy, the biggest confusion
for me was trying to use the Dart1 style upload (based on Wiki
recommendation) before realising that Dart2 needed RPC/XML.
