[CMake] cmake on the BGP

[John R. Cary]

I am trying to build cmake on a Blue Gene P. 

Configuration starts with


login1.surveyor$ ./bootstrap

Error when bootstrapping CMake:
Problem while running initial CMake


Googling around I found an exchange that ended with

http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2006-January/007917.html

"It should be very easy to add support to CMake.

You would have to create a Linux-xlc.cmake file that will
go in the Platforms directory of cmake.   It would set all
the correct flags for the compiler.  If you want, I can help
you create one, and I will add it to cmake."

Was this ever done?  Can I help with getting it done?

Thx...John Cary
