Please inform your debian package maintainer. I think there may be

error, because the matching (i.e. most current) CMakeLists.txt file
would not be looking for internat.
I'm just an old assembly programmer trying to learn how to make these
- the guy that has built in the past these is busy with school. I
think it is important to keep kicad up-to-date in Debian - lots of
other distributions pull from there.
Currently there is a dependency on CMake 2.8.0 for latest revision,
I bumped into that and pulled it in yesterday .. it's in debian testing
Looks like I should figure out how to move from make to cmake -- PIA
as I haven't done much with either.
I downloaded the kicad debian source and briefly looked at it. Looks
like Richard Burton is still the package maintainer. It also looks like
he has done a nice job utilizing CMake, so I made a false assumption
yesterday, because I was thrown off track by your report Karl that your
debian/rules build was referencing a missing internat directory, and
assumed this was because CMakeLists.txt was not in use, and therefore
not CMake either. But CMake is in use, and in use nicely. (Maybe you
were pulling in an older CMakeLists.txt file, one that did not match the
latest source from bzr.)
Karl, I have no idea how or why you were trying to use debian/rules
against a newer copy of the source than was part of the original
"debian/rules and package source set".
Using CMake is really easy. And I am proud of you for getting 2.8
installed. When building from the bzr repo, don't use debian/rules from
an older package.
This makes me think we should just stick with 2.8 of CMake and move
forward from here with that. From Jean-Pierre's commit, I think we can
assume he feels this way also. Installing CMake 2.8 is not that hard.
For a linux distro that does not have 2.8, some folks can do as Karl has
done, which is go to a newer repo in the same distribution to find 2.8
Cmake. If not there, then that Linux user can remove the CMake
package using your package manager, and then install from the CMake.org
website the 2.8.
On Windows it is also not very hard, going to the website.
Issue settled, I think.
Dick
