Re: [wsjt-devel] Candidate Release WSJT-X 3.0.0-rc1

Arkadiusz,

Your suggestion has not worked here!

In order to resolve my problem, I had to install the older cmake version 
to succeed with WSJTX source code compilation.

/*sudo zypper in --oldpackage cmake3-3.31.8-2.8.x86_64.rpm
*/
IMHO it's unpleasant that a software update (in this case cmake) could 
broke the way we were using to do a particular thing!

It should be nice if the WSJTX Dev team, could find a solution so that 
CMakeLists.txt, or maybe (additional source files) being compliant with 
newest building software as cmake.

Regards,

P.S. Thanks to the several OM which provided me answers about this issue!
