You may have a look at OBS: https://build.opensuse.org/ it may help you with "many-distro" building. but as Dan said the *source* route is the way to go. Once you source is giving you nice package (on MacOS, Windows & Linux etc...) then you may offer a CMake script that **automatically** 1) download the source 2) configure & build with CMake 3) create a package with CPack here is an example applied to CMake itself as proof of concept: https://github.com/TheErk/CMake-tutorial/blob/master/examples/CMake-autobuild-v2.cmake with this you get an "install-from-source" which should be painless for your user. -- Erk Le gouvernement représentatif n'est pas la démocratie -- http://www.le-message.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
