[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

Carlos, All,

On 2017-05-05 17:30 -0300, Carlos Santos spake thusly:
> Add the BR2_CMAKE_CANDIDATES variable, containing a list of candidates
> to check and use as BR2_CMAKE, if possible.
> 
> This allows using "cmake3" on CentOS 7, whose default cmake corresponds
> to version 2.8.12. Example:
> 
>     $ make BR2_CMAKE_CANDIDATES="cmake cmake3"

Do not rename the variable; keep it named BR2_CMAKE.

It was named as such so that one could do:

    $ make BR2_CMAKE=/path/to/my/cmake3

and we want to keep it as such, so people can override the cmake they
want to use.

By the way, I hope you knew you could do that, didn't you? ;-)

Yann E. MORIN.
