Summary0015629: A way to install the command-line tool links from the command line would be useful
DescriptionNow that you no longer have an installer package for OS X, the command-line tools have to be installed by running CMake through the GUI.

For Wireshark, we have a script for OS X to install stuff for building Wireshark from source. That script downloads and installs CMake, which isn't *required* yet but is *supported* (and may eventually become the default or only tool for building).

It'd be nice if it could run some program to install the command-line tools.

(Wireshark also has command-line tools, but that's one of the reasons we *don't* do drag-install. The other is that we also install a launchd launch daemon to make it possible to capture traffic without root privileges.)

CMake 3.3 (currently in release candidate and available from the download page) already does this. See the release notes:

 http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.3/release/3.3.html [^]
 "On OS X the cmake-gui(1) no longer has the Install For Command Line Use menu item. Instead there is a How to Install For Command Line Use menu item that shows an informational dialog box explaining how to make the command line tools available."
