* README: Update bootstrap example to use 'build' directory under sourceBrad King2023-07-271-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | When the example was first written, developers commonly placed their build trees as siblings of the source tree. Nowadays many developers use a `build/` directory under the top-level source directory instead. Update the example with the modern convention to avoid requiring the reader to understand that `cmake-source` is a placeholder for the path to the source tree.
* Update links to gitlab.kitware.com repos to add `-/`Brad King2020-05-261-2/+2
| | | | | | GitLab now uses a `/-/` component between the `group/project` part of the URL and the `{issues,merge_requests,tree}` part so that it can support `group/subgroup/project` with arbitrary depth.

* README: Update links to cmake.org pagesBrad King2019-11-051-3/+3
| | | | Some of the links refer to URLs that are now redirected. Update them.
* README: Suggest bootstrapping out-of-source for developmentBrad King2019-02-201-8/+13
| | | | | | | Building in-source and running the test suite in-source both leave many artifacts that we (purposely) do not cover via `.gitignore`. For developing CMake we typically use out-of-source builds, so suggest this in the README.

* Require C++11 to build CMake itselfBrad King2017-08-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | CMake can now compile as C++11 on all supported platforms. Check that std::unique_ptr is available and fail early if missing. This will allow us to use C++11 more broadly in CMake's implementation (previously it was restricted to the serve mode implementation). Co-Author: Daniel Pfeifer <daniel@pfeifer-mail.de>
* HP-UX: Drop support for building CMake on HP-UXBrad King2017-08-071-1/+0
| | | | | | | | CMake will soon require both C++11 and libuv to build. Neither of these works on HP-UX, so unfortunately we need to drop support for the platform until someone can get them working. Issue: #17137
* README: Add AIX to list of supported platformsBrad King2017-08-041-0/+1
| | | | It was left out accidentally.
* README: Update list of supported platformsBrad King2017-06-131-1/+7
| | | | | Convert to a bullet list. Drop platforms for which we no longer have nightly testing.
