CMake 2.8.8-rc2 ready for testing!
The CMake 2.8.8 release candidate stream continues! You can find the source and binaries here:
http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/?C=M;O=D
Some of the notable changes in this release are:
- per target include directories via the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES target property
- new Ninja generator on Linux
- CMakeAddFortranSubdirectory: build MSVC compatible dlls with MinGW gfortran
- CMakePackageConfigHelpers: an easy way to generate a package config file for your package
(do not write a new Find module, provide a package config file)
- various find_package improvements: MODULE mode, clearer error messages
- support for Xcode 4.3 (which has a new default location, and a new directory structure)
- update libarchive to newer upstream version: “libarchive 3.0.2-r4051 (reduced)”
- new OBJECT_LIBRARY target type, CMake flavored “convenience libraries”
- major Find module clean up effort: consistent use of FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS, add version number variables
- much improved CPack documentation, see “cpack –help-command” and “cpack –help-variable”
- and, as always, various minor bug fixes
Following is the complete list of changes in this rc since the last release. Please try this version of CMake on your projects and report any issues to the list or the bug tracker.
Thanks!

Perhaps it slipped into the cracks of my tri-focals, but I cannot find a link to post questions other than the blog, or possibly report a bug. I will gladly post there if someone can point this geezer to a link.
I’m using 2.8.8 RC2 on OS X 10.7.3 with Xcode 4.3.2. The projects loads into Xcode and appears to build, but produces no dylib files. If I run xcodebuild from a terminal I see an error in a header file which is defined in the CMakeLists files but not found in HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS. I suspect the error to be aborting the final link to produce the drib files.
Typically, people discuss issues like this first on the CMake mailing list. You can sign up for it here: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
Then, after discussion on the mailing list, if it is indeed deemed to be a CMake issue, you can report it in the CMake bug tracker here: http://public.kitware.com/Bug
Thanks for trying the release candidate!
One more resource to mention: CMake’s web site has an extensive collection of links to various associated resources: online documentation, bug tracker, mailing list, wiki, FAQ, source repository, ……

Thanks, I’ve created my login. Had one but it’s been almost 2 years since I used it.I had posted a question concerning VS 2010 allowing older platforms and compatibility with CMake.
