2596	New Package - CMake-2.8.3	ken@…	thomas	"Cmake is a build dependency for kde4.

To build it in the absence of an existing cmake, use ./bootstrap : at a minimum ./bootstrap --prefix=/usr.  That has two unfortunate side-effects:

(i.) it puts man pages into /usr/man (our symlink solves that, so long as we still have it) and documentation in /usr/doc/cmake-2.6

(ii.) it uses its own versions of curl, expat, zlib, xmlrpc-c.  I have no particular feelings about xmlrpc-c (it's a niche product, apparently only used by the 'cpack' program), but the other three really ought to be using the system versions.  Unfortunatley, cmake uses an all-or-nothing approach to system-libs, so xmlrpc-c has to be used if you want to use system zlib etc.
I've built xmlrpc-c-1.06.31 for this, using curl - ticket to follow.

So, I'm now using
{{{
./bootstrap --prefix=/usr --system-libs --mandir=/share/man --docdir=/share/doc/cmake-2.6.2
}}}
