However I was thinking of more than gcc and said tools. I was thinking also if cmake has been used to build glibC, binutils (i.e. toolchains) as well. Possible applications could be in embedded areas including non-x86 cpu's. (Incidently does anyone know if cmake does(can) run on either Renesas' superH-cpu or A-D's blackfin-cpu machines?) ___ 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
