Ah, I see. I admittedly know little about CMake, just enough to let me build vtk really. :) So for the cross compilation case, or even the more limited case of Universal Binaries on OS X, does a TRY_COMPILE execute once for each architecture? Seems it would need to. Or is that something currently lacking? Thanks, -- ____________________________________________________________ Sean McBride, B.
