Michael, Marcus, Thanks for the confirmation. I have tried clang 2.8 with one of my projects powered by CMake and it works well indeed. Although, I'm curious how to interpret the following messages: -- The C compiler identification is GNU -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU Apparently, clang is identified: -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/clang -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/clang -- works -- Detecting C compiler ABI info -- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/clang++ -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/clang++ -- works Also, how can I distinguish clang in CMakeLists.txt to perform some conditional settings? if(CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCC OR CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCXX) elseif(MSVC) elseif(CLANG) # ??? endif() Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net Charter Member of OSGeo, http://osgeo.org Member of ACCU, http://accu.org _______________________________________________ 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
