I'm new to PG development, so I don't know what ideas the community is open to. But I wonder if there's any merit to the following approach... * Allow the CMake-based build system to assume a fairly modern version of CMake. (Maybe 2.8.12, or 3.0.) * For systems where the minimum CMake version isn't readily available, have an alternative build system which is just a simplistic Bash script that naively performs a full build every time it's invoked. The idea being that PG contributors are mostly the people who want efficient rebuilds, and most/all of them could easily install that minimal CMake version. *IF* it proved possible to write a clear, maintainable Bash script for that, perhaps that would eliminate most concerns about CMake not being well-supported on uncommon platforms / platform versions. - Christian -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
