No problem. I need to make a version of CodeLite that runs without the 
GUI to be able to run the configuration and ctest. At the moment, I run 
-G "Unix Makefiles" and then edit the cache file to change the generator 
to CodeLite and then rerun with -G CodeLite to get around the 
configuration issues. I've been able to build CMake and Clang with only 
a few tweaks. I'll keep you posted and let you know if I have any questions.
