Stephen Kelly 4c69ec6f12 SolarisStudio: Use alternative standard library to build CMake.
SolarisStudio ships a very old RogueWave standard library
implementation (libCstd) and uses it by default for backward compatibility.
The macros defined when building the system libCstd need to be the same as
the macros defined when using it for binary compatibility reasons etc.  The
SolarisStudio compiler driver adds macros such as _RWSTD_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATES and
_RWSTD_NO_CLASS_PARTIAL_SPEC etc. These macros disable certain APIs in the
standard library headers.

Although the compiler supports the features 'member templates' and 'partial
template specialization', the standard library does not provide APIs which
rely on those features.  This means that std::vector::insert in libCStd does
not accept a pair of iterators from a different type of container, because
that requires member templates, and reverse_iterator<const T> can not
be constructed from a reverse_iterator<T> because that requires partial
specialization (or at least the _RWSTD_NO_CLASS_PARTIAL_SPEC define) and
member templates.

This causes many problems while building CMake using SolarisStudio, which
have not been well understood until now.  The problems are usually
attributed to compiler limitations, while actually the problem is in
the standard library, as in commit v3.0.0-rc1~99^2~1 (Help: Document non-use
of std::set::insert., 2014-01-24) and commit 107dcac3 (Fix compilation with
the Oracle / Sun compiler (#15318), 2014-12-12).

SolarisStudio 12.3 and earlier also ships a version of stlport which may be
used instead of libCstd by specifying -library=stlport4

 https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18659_01/html/821-1383/bkakg.html

SolarisStudio 12.4 ships a version of libstdc++ from GCC 4.8.2 which may be
used by specifying -std=c++03 or -std=c++11 etc

 http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37069_01/html/E37075/bkamw.html#OSSCPgnaof

Use these more-capable standard library implementations when building cmake.
This will allow more use of 'normal' C++ (such as std::vector::insert), and cause
fewer surprises resulting from dashboards using SolarisStudio.

Because cmake is not a library linked against by 3rd parties and does not have
external dependencies, issues related to mixing code using libCStd and libstdc++
do not apply.

Introduction
============

CMake is a cross-platform, open-source build system generator.
For full documentation visit the `CMake Home Page`_ and the
`CMake Documentation Page`_.

.. _`CMake Home Page`: http://www.cmake.org
.. _`CMake Documentation Page`: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/documentation.html

CMake is maintained and supported by `Kitware`_ and developed in
collaboration with a productive community of contributors.

Building CMake
==============

Supported Platforms
-------------------

MS Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, HP-UX, IRIX, BeOS, QNX

Other UNIX-like operating systems may work too out of the box, if not
it should not be a major problem to port CMake to this platform.
Subscribe and post to the `CMake Users List`_ to ask if others have
had experience with the platform.

Building CMake from Scratch
---------------------------

UNIX/Mac OSX/MinGW/MSYS/Cygwin
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You need to have a compiler and a make installed.
Run the ``bootstrap`` script you find the in the source directory of CMake.
You can use the ``--help`` option to see the supported options.
You may use the ``--prefix=<install_prefix>`` option to specify a custom
installation directory for CMake. You can run the ``bootstrap`` script from
within the CMake source directory or any other build directory of your
choice. Once this has finished successfully, run ``make`` and
``make install``.  In summary::

 $ ./bootstrap && make && make install

Windows
^^^^^^^

You need to download and install a binary release of CMake in order to build
CMake.  You can get these releases from the `CMake Download Page`_ .  Then
proceed with the instructions below.

.. _`CMake Download Page`: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html

Building CMake with CMake
-------------------------

You can build CMake as any other project with a CMake-based build system:
run the installed CMake on the sources of this CMake with your preferred
options and generators. Then build it and install it.
For instructions how to do this, see documentation on `Running CMake`_.

.. _`Running CMake`: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/runningcmake.html

Reporting Bugs
==============

If you have found a bug:

1. If you have a patch, please read the `CONTRIBUTING.rst`_ document.

2. Otherwise, please join the the `CMake Users List`_ and ask about
   the expected and observed behaviors to determine if it is really
   a bug.

3. Finally, if the issue is not resolved by the above steps, open
   an entry in the `CMake Issue Tracker`_.

.. _`CMake Issue Tracker`: http://www.cmake.org/Bug
