Is that with the default CMakeCache.txt?  Or did you tweak things?  For
me, the default builds.

I'm curious, which?

I used the prebuilt cmake, but for fun I tried to build it.  Same
error.  It looks like a genuine error to me.  I suspect the cmake people
are using some old os/compiler and don't realise the code is broken. Try
changing it from:

int cmDynamicLoader::CloseLibrary(cmLibHandle lib)
{
  // we have to use lib because the macro may not...
  (void)lib;

  NSUnLinkModule(lib, FALSE);

  return 1;
}

to:

int cmDynamicLoader::CloseLibrary(cmLibHandle lib)
{
  NSUnLinkModule((NSModule)lib, NSUNLINKMODULE_OPTION_NONE);

  return 1;
}

NSUnLinkModule isn't a macro, so I dunno what that first comment is about!

It then builds for me.  I'll file a bug.
