The problem is probably in my own head because I tend to define "work"

the ability to completely compile AND pass a testsuite. Which means that
by that definition GCC never "works" but it gets pretty close.

Perhaps "close" is good enough for now however I won't actually install
whatever I have into a production system until it passes all the tests.

So for the moment I have :

$ /usr/local/bin/git clone --verbose git://cmake.org/cmake.git
Cloning into 'cmake'...

remote: Compressing objects: 100% (41649/41649), done.

Checking connectivity... done.
Checking out files: 100% (7410/7410), done.


What I need to do now is figure out a simple sequence of steps. I figure
I'll need to tar up that result and move it to a build area, then use
autoconf tools to generate a configure script or some such set of magic.

I imagine it would be:

1 mkdir build
2 cd build
3 ../bootstrap
if build fails fix issues and go back to 3

If the build succeeds you should be able to run the cmake binaries from the build directory as-is (without having to install anything). You just need a build of cmake (including ctest) capable of running the dashboard scripts to start with.

I am not sure why you would have to tar up or move anything or why you would have to involve autotools.
