Hi, I know this has been raised in the past, but I don't think the arguments for not providing the binaries are strong enough to warrant the hassle a cmake user has to go through to run the 32bit binaries on a 64bit Linux distribution.
I think requiring users to figure out how to install 32bit compat libraries and keeping a copy of at least libc on the machine for no other purpose than running cmake does not really fit the intention of providing binaries in the first place. As far as I understand the idea was to make it easier for people who cannot upgrade a package-manager-provided CMake (for whatever reason) to use a newer CMake. Requiring those people to build from source does not really make it easy and not all distributions install 32bit compat libraries out of the box (let alone older machines which have no such compat libs at all) So can we please get 64bit Linux binaries for the next CMake release? Andreas
