Cmake 3.12.0 builds successfully out of box for Cygwin with default build
script provided by Kitware.
So I think its a good chance to build and update the package. Moreover I
tested it in lots of our C++
projects that must be build under Cygwin via Appveyor CI. For this reason I
add pre-build step with
building the latest cmake:
- if "%type%"=="Cygwin" appveyor-retry appveyor DownloadFile "
https://cmake.org/files/v3.12/cmake-3.12.0.tar.gz"; -FileName "cmake.tar.gz"
- if "%type%"=="Cygwin" C:\cygwin64\bin\bash -lc "cd
$APPVEYOR_BUILD_FOLDER; mkdir temp; cd temp; mv ../cmake.tar.gz
./cmake.tar.gz; tar xzf cmake.tar.gz --strip-components=1; ./bootstrap &&
make && make install; cd ..; rm -rf ./temp"
Of course the best solution for us is to have cmake 3.12.0 updated in
Cygwin repository, because its building time is about ~30min
