Not right now. The thing is that each library which uses it mangles all of the symbols individually by configuring the source files, so without rewriting how kwsys is *used* in all of its downstream projects (cmake, VTK, ITK, and likely others), kwsys would likely have to be shipped as source anyways. > https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/555 I commented here that castxml is more than a "random xml app" but will be needed for an updated ITK (at least; other projects might migrate to it from gccxml as time goes on). --Ben -- 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.
