[jira] [Commented] (QPID-7595) [C++ Windows] CMake required version is too low for installation

["Andrew Stitcher (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-7595?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15764470#comment-15764470 ] 

Andrew Stitcher commented on QPID-7595:
---------------------------------------

I don't regard this as a significant problem because in practice all versions of cmake on windows machines are under the builders control and can be easily upgraded (either manually or using chocolatey).

The cmake_minimum_required is the version available on ubuntu 1404 - even rhel 6 has a later version - 2.8.12 I think.

Is this a case where you are unable to upgrade cmake on a windows platform?

I'm not aware if you can make the cmake_minimum_version conditional somehow, but that maybe a solution - although it will make the cmake file a little harder to read if possible.

Better requirement docs would help here.
