That's because version 2.6 was the first to introduce policies so using 2.4 leaves them all unset. Prior to that we had another mechanism called CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY which is now ignored when the version requested is 2.6 or higher. We cannot change the default value without possibly breaking existing scripts. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
