Hello,
I want to build cmake from the sources, on
a Linux platform. Now it seems I have the choice
between
cmake-2.4.6-Linux-i386.tar.gz
and
cmake-2.4.6.tar.gz
??
Intuitively, I would go for the second choice
(called Unix Linefeed Source, where I have
no clue what the Linefeed stands for), since
Unix normally includes Linux, and a generic name
like cmake-2.4.6.tar.gz is similar to for example
the gcc- or doxygen-packages-names.
However what then is that Linux-package good for??
I know that i386 stands for some architecture,
but I don't know whether my platforms are such or not,
and I also expect the build process to find out
on its own, without me having to specify this
implementation detail?? (When building gcc, or, say,
make, it does not bother the user with such details.)
I have purchased the book, but neither there nor on
the web page anything is said about which package
to use when (just follow the instructions, but there
are none). I couldn't make good use of the search functions
for the e-mail lists neither (always end up with some
google search).
Any hint would be appreciated.
Thanks
Oliver
