Hi Mike, re: 'cmake' dependency > No need to apologize, if you think this came up before then I'm sure it > did; I just couldn't remember. Just so you know, I wouldn't be able to swear to this in court :-) re: > It was the Unidata page I checked before ( > https://docs.unidata.ucar.edu/mcidas/current/users_guide/InstallingMcIDAS-XonUnixorMacOSXWorkstations.html) > and not seeing it there is what prompted me to bring it up. > > But doing another bit of googling I now see it's listed here ( > https://www.ssec.wisc.edu/mcidas/doc/users_guide/2020.1/install-6.html) as > well as a bunch of other SSEC results. Yea. One of the problems is that our documentation needs to be updated each time there is a new release. I recall making the change to the v2020 version of the documentation at some point, but I never flipped the switch to make v2020 the current release. Aside: updating the documentation is as time consuming as incorporating new functionality, if not more, and it is _so_ boring! re: > FYI I'm giving myself this week off so I wasn't planning on doing a whole > lot of crunching on this until next week. But as always, if there's > something you'd like me to check don't hesitate to ask. :) I have been quite busy for the past couple of weeks, and it doesn't look like this will change any time soon. I really need to carve out about a week to work on the v2021 release and then _actually_ release it. Wimper...
