* The implementation of CMake relies on some C++ compiler features which are
|
|
not supported by some older compilers. As a result, those old compilers
|
|
can no longer be used to build CMake itself. CMake continues to be able to
|
|
generate Makefiles and project files for users of those old compilers
|
|
however. The compilers known to no longer be capable of building CMake
|
|
are:
|
|
|
|
* MSVC 6 and 7.0 - superceded by VisualStudio 7.1 and newer compilers.
|
|
* GCC 2.95 - superceded by GCC 3 and newer compilers.
|
|
* Borland compilers - superceded by other Windows compilers.
|
|
* Compaq compilers - superceded by other compilers.
|
|
* Comeau compilers - superceded by other compilers.
|
|
* SGI compilers - IRIX was dropped as a host platform.

When building using SolarisStudio 12, the default ``libCStd`` standard
|
|
library is not sufficient to build CMake. The SolarisStudio distribution
|
|
supports compiler options to use ``STLPort4`` or ``libstdc++``. An
|
|
appropriate option to select the standard library is now added
|
|
automatically when building CMake with SolarisStudio compilers.
