[CMake] No Native 64-Bit CMake Binaries?

[Eskandar Ensafi]

Hello,

 

I used to build my own CMake binaries under Linux and Windows, but I got
tired of having to install compatible versions of third-party libraries
such as Qt, so I've been downloading the prebuilt binaries instead.  On
the Linux side, I gave up on Red Hat/EPEL and RPMforge distributions, as
they are always very slow to upgrade to the latest stable release.

 

What strikes me as being very strange is that CMake binaries are only
provided as 32-bit executables for Windows and Linux, two of the most
popular platforms where CMake is ever-increasingly used on 64-bit
hardware.  Is there any good reason why 64-bit binaries are not provided
for all supported operating systems?

 

Thanks,

 

Eskandar
