After this change, the cmake setup now works even on Debian stretch (oldoldstable), which runs cmake 3.7. In order to support a version that early I had to: - write a fallback implementation of 'add_compile_definitions' for older cmakes, which is easy, because add_compile_definitions(FOO) is basically just add_compile_options(-DFOO) - stop using list(TRANSFORM) and string(JOIN), of which I had one case each, and they were easily replaced with simple foreach loops - stop putting OBJECT libraries in the target_link_libraries command for executable targets, in favour of adding $<TARGET_OBJECTS:foo> to the main sources list for the same target. That matches what I do with library targets, so it's probably more sensible anyway. I tried going back by another Debian release and getting this cmake setup to work on jessie, but that runs CMake 3.0.1, and in _that_ version of cmake the target_sources command is missing, and I didn't find any alternative way to add extra sources to a target after having first declared it. Reorganising to cope with _that_ omission would be too much upheaval without a very good reason.
This is the README for PuTTY, a free Windows and Unix Telnet and SSH
client.
PuTTY is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the
simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in
the source directory:
cmake .
cmake --build .
Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
`man' pages) is built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the `doc'
subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. If you aren't using one of our
source snapshots, you'll need to do this yourself. Halibut can be
found at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
The PuTTY home web site is

If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the
Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line
reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as
ours.
