RHBA-2014:1506 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated cmake packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

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.

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:

• 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#611250)

• 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#752864)

• 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.
(BZ#896116)

Users of CMake are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these
bugs and add these enhancements.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
