Happy building! -Dave Changes in CMake 2.8.5-rc1 (since 2.8.4) ---------------------------------------- Alex Neundorf (33): Rework the way assembler is handled, use the C/CXX compiler by default Make it possible to exlude external libs from dot files GRAPHVIZ_IGNORE_TARGETS is now a list of regular expressions Also generate dependers-graphviz files. Fix XML escaping for the project() name in Eclipse projects (#11658) Fix XML escaping for target names in Eclipse project files (#11658) Add XML escaping for directory name in Eclipse projects (#11658) Eclipse projects: created one linked resource for each subproject Also add the SOURCES from add_custom_target() to CodeBlocks projects (#11736) Add ASM support for the Intel compiler Actually use CMAKE_ASM_COMPILER for asm, instead of CMAKE_C_COMPILER Add support for ASM for the SunPro compiler Add suport for ASM for the IBM XL compiler Add support for ASm for the HP compiler.
