Blender links fine now :)
Linking C executable ../../../cmake-build/bin/blender
[ 97%] Built target blender

But the player does not :
Linking C executable ../../cmake-build/bin/blenderplayer
blender/../cmake-build/lib/libbf_blenkernel.a(verse_session.o)(.text+0x20b):
In function `add_verse_server': undefined reference to `post_server_add'
blender/../cmake-build/lib/libbf_blenkernel.a(verse_session.o)(.text+0x81a):
In function `create_verse_session': undefined reference to `post_server_add'
*** Error code 1

It misses some more verse libs ;-)

Yes and it has nothing to do with any build system whatsoever, not even
with Blender :

A file with just these 3 lines (using GCC 3.4.2, Python 2.4, FreeBSD 5.4)

    #include <vector>
    #include "Python.h"
    #include <iostream.h>

bombs. (See my other mails around April 2005. It starts with
BL_ActionActuator.cpp in source/gameengine/Converter/ :
/usr/include/c++/3.4/bits/localefwd.h:58:34: macro "isspace" passed 2 arguments, but takes just 1
/usr/include/c++/3.4/bits/localefwd.h:58: error: `std::isspace' declared as `inline' variable)

Does this resemble what you saw ?

ps. does this Cmake system build the browser plugin too ?
