Any plans to change this?
The Windows source cannot be bootstrapped if you use Visual C++ because the 'bootstrap' script is a Bourne-shell script. You may want to try downloading Zsh from http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/gnu/gnu-win32/release/zsh/ , then setting a few environment variables (take a look at the bootstrap script) and crossing your fingers. The other path is bootstrapping it on Windows by using mingw+msys/cygwin. You may also be able to cross-compile a mingw-compiled binary version from OS X, Linux, etc. I have not tried any of those options, but they should work. -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer) _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
