Looks like I may have missed a couple options (-R and -KPIC). As far as I can tell, the compiler should work exactly like the already supported SunOS version of the compiler. Just copy the options from the already included
SunOS.cmake file, which are almost the same as the file I sent you.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/23/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Brad King</b> <<a href="mailto:brad.king@kitware.com">brad.king@kitware.com
