8.30. cmake

Updated cmake packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
CMake is used to control the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files. CMake generates native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice. CMake is quite sophisticated: it is possible to support complex environments requiring system configuration, preprocessor generation, code generation, and template instantiation.
This update also fixes the following bugs:

Note

The cmake packages have been upgraded to upstream version 2.8.12, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. (BZ#606892)
This update also fixes the following bugs:

Bug Fixes

BZ#611250
Previously, the FindGTK2.cmake module was missing from the cmake packages. As a consequence, building GTK2 applications failed. This update adds FindGTK2.cmake and GTK2 applications now build as expected.
BZ#752864
Prior to this update, CMake ignored some options when working with the rpmbuild-4.8 package. As a consequence, building RPM packages on an RPM-based system failed. With this update, CMake works with rpmbuild-4.8 correctly, and the above problem no longer occurs.
BZ#896116
Due to an error in the "add_custom_target" command, CMake previously did not detect a custom target after creating it. With this update "add_custom_target" works properly, and CMake detects a created custom target as expected.
The cmake packages have been upgraded to upstream version 2.8.12, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. (BZ#606892)
Users of CMake are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs and add these enhancements.
