Summary

0015628: CMake needs to request root privileges in order to install command-line tools

Description

Even if you try to install them in /usr/local/bin (which should be the case in *all* versions of OS X, and really needs to be the case in 10.11, as per the other issue I filed), you need root privileges to do so, and CMake doesn't do anything to install the symlinks as root.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Start CMake.

2. Select "Install For Command Line Use" from the "Tools" menu.

3. Fix it to install in /usr/local/bin rather than /usr/bin.

4. Click "Install Command Line Links".

5. Notice the lack of any prompt for your password, as would be required if it were requesting root privileges (and you hadn't done so in the last few minutes).

6. Notice the set of "Failed create symlink installation may be incomplete: /usr/local/bin/..." messages.

Notes
(0038966) Brad King (manager) 2015-06-24 08:49	See 0015629:0038965. CMake 3.3 has a command-line to be run and users can choose to use sudo or not as desired.
