Re: [Chicken-users] CMake problem on Linux should be solved

CMake printed an error and didn't generate anything because line 127
tries to load a file named "buildnumber", but there is no such file
in the current Darcs head.

So I built and installed the autotools version, patched around the
problem on line 127, and reran cmake, getting this:

$ cmake /opt/chicken/darcs

It looks like CMake suddenly doesn't like the "\_" sequence in
in the big-print "Chicken" output by "chicken-static -version",
and then gets terminally confused after that.
