I'm trying to use CMAKE_CACHE_MAJOR_VERSION and CMAKE_CACHE_MINOR_VERSION to determine which version of cmake is being used, but it seems that these vars are not yet set during the first cmake run. This is demonstrated in a simple test case below. CMake is run twice, and you can see in the 'debug' prints are different on the second cmake run. Is there a better way to determine the cmake version being used?
If you are trying to distinguish cmake-2.6.x from prior versions, then you can use the following (I use this when setting 2.6.x policies) if(COMMAND cmake_policy) An alternative that works for me for both 2.4.x and 2.6.x is the following if statement if(CMAKE_MAJOR_VERSION EQUAL 2 AND CMAKE_MINOR_VERSION EQUAL 4) I assume you could also test on CMAKE_RELEASE_VERSION, but I haven't tried that. At least for 2.6.0, the cached versions of these variables are also available. This is what is in my current (2.6.0) cache. grep VERSION CMakeCache.txt |grep CMAKE CMAKE_CACHE_MAJOR_VERSION:INTERNAL=2 CMAKE_CACHE_MINOR_VERSION:INTERNAL=6 CMAKE_CACHE_RELEASE_VERSION:INTERNAL=patch 0 HTH.
