Summary0014798: CMake fails to build correctly from source on FreeBSD...
DescriptionWhen trying to build CMake from source, I end up with the following errors:

[ 5%] Building CXX object Source/kwsys/CMakeFiles/cmsys.dir/SystemInformation.cxx.o
/home/jszakmeister/source/cmake-2.8.12.2/Source/kwsys/SystemInformation.cxx:1478:3: error: unknown type name 'Dl_info'
  Dl_info info;
  ^
/home/jszakmeister/source/cmake-2.8.12.2/Source/kwsys/SystemInformation.cxx:3631:15: error: use of undeclared identifier 'backtrace'
  int nFrames=backtrace(stackSymbols,256);
              ^
2 errors generated.
gmake[2]: *** [Source/kwsys/CMakeFiles/cmsys.dir/SystemInformation.cxx.o] Error 1
gmake[1]: *** [Source/kwsys/CMakeFiles/cmsys.dir/all] Error 2
gmake: *** [all] Error 2

It appears that the dlfcn.h header is not being included in places, but there may be some other issues too.
Steps To ReproduceA simple download, extract, ./configure && make will show the problem.

FWIW, I fixed this in http://public.kitware.com/gitweb?p=KWSys.git;a=commitdiff;h=6eab64c3 [^] but v3.0.0-rc1 is the only tag that contains this fix so far.

Additionally, devel/cmake in the FreeBSD ports tree backports this patch and builds just fine.

Unfortunately, the ports build isn't building with SSL support, which means that using "file(DOWNLOAD ...)" with GitHub doesn't work, which is why I was looking to just build CMake myself. :-( I guess I'll pluck the patches from the ports tree and try again.

FWIW, I did file a bug with the FreeBSD ports to see about getting SSL support added.

Upstream developers directly support the platforms that have nightly testing submissions to our dashboard:

 http://open.cdash.org/index.php?project=CMake [^]

For other platforms we have to depend on fixup patches from those with access to the platforms.

Until a couple months ago we had a dozen or so FreeBSD submissions from a generous contributor. Those had to be retired for non-technical reasons and no one has stepped forward to replace them. Instructions to create a nightly testing submission are here:
