But I will be glad to be mistaken :), in which case building it myself won't be a problem. Hi Arjen: Sorry I missed your previous point about the possible CMake idiosyncrasy on the Cygwin platform. Of course, the major idiosyncrasy (very important when rejecting use of the native Windows CMake version for the Cygwin platform) is linking to the Cygwin dll. But that happens automatically if you build CMake on Cygwin so that important idiosyncrasy should not be a concern to you. The other kind of idiosyncrasy that might be of importance to you is whether any patches are applied when building the Cygwin version. To figure that out, you would have to ask the Cygwin CMake packager about that or go through similar analysis to what we discovered before concerning Tcl/Tk Cygwin packages. Such analysis can help you figure out the exact build commands that are used to build (Tcl, Tk, CMake, etc.,) on Cygwin. So once you know from such analysis (or from asking) what patch (if any) is applied to CMake-2.8.9, then with some luck that same patch would apply to CMake-3.0.2, and the build would be trivial after that. I think it is definitely worth knowing whether a patch has to be applied to build CMake on Cygwin because that knowledge would be definitely useful for epa_build.
