CMake 2.8.9 available for download

August 9, 2012

On behalf of myself, Ken, Bill, Brad, Alex, Zach, Ben, Eike, Eric and the rest of the CMake team from all around the world, we are pleased to announce that CMake 2.8.9 is now available for download at:

  http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/?C=M;O=D

It is also available from the usual download links found on the CMake web site:

Some of the notable changes in this release are:

  • the new Ninja generator is now enabled by default on Windows (and now Mac, too!)
  • added POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE target property, automatically adds -fPIC and -fPIE for compilers that require it
  • added -Dvar=value command line handling to ctest
  • added MUMPS coverage support to ctest, including GTM and Cache
  • and, as always, various minor bug fixes

The bug tracker change log page for this version is at:

Following is the complete list of changes in this release, including changes introduced in every release candidate. Please upgrade to this latest and greatest version of CMake for building your projects.

Thanks!
