Andrea,

Could you please not drop the ML address?
I know the reply-to-sender mode of the list may be annoying but it is
the current setup
so tha tyou need to re-add ML address when answering.

No problem I get that.
The things is I doubt that any CMake developer would be building in source
so I bet no one did face the need.

Do you produce "Windows executable" or "Linux executable"?
Which compiler are you using?

that contains all the sources needed to compile the project,
that way I can try myself on the actual files.
