Description
CMake allows bootstrapping from source (with just autotools/GNU Make). Because this package is often the only method to get a new CMake with just pip
available, I think it would be too difficult to add logic that would bootstrap a release CMake before calling scikit-build if CMake wasn't found on the path.
This would essentially be:
if is_unix and not which('cmake'):
download_extract('cmake.tar.gz')
run('./bootstrap --prefix={prefix} && make && make install')
os.environ['PATH'] += '{prefix}'
