This does not provide enough information to know what package to install. This problem is not in scope for a build system. Another tool should be used to install dependencies ahead of time before running CMake. The source tree could come with some kind of dependency spec file for such a tool to use but this would be independent of the build system. -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.
