At a MSYS prompt under MS Windows this works: $ cat a.tar.xz | unxz | tar x but this hangs: $ cmake -E tar xvf a.tar.xz One can see in the process tree that there is a child process of "cmake" called "unxz" that was started with no command line arguments. One can attach a debugger to see CMake blocked inside libarchive code. This confirms that the hang occurs on MS Windows just as in Wine. I suggest getting upstream libarchive and building its sample tools but without lzma support built-in. Then try using that binary to extract the .tar.xz file. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers
