Thread: How about considering switch to cmake
Hi all, in the past I try to use auto hell and I found it very hard to hack, now I'm developing a plugin for kate (KDE advanced editor) and I discover the simplicity of cmake. CMake as auto hell is cross platform and has a very simple and clean syntax, and the script are not a mix of m4 + posix shell + something else but only cmake script. The project that swith to cmake are very happy with it. I can help with the portig of pgadmin. Let me know if you are interested. Massimo

I did briefly look at cmake a while back. *If* we are to switch to a new build system, I'm looking for something that can generate Makefiles that will work with gmake and ideally Sun's make (for building with SunStudio) as well, as well as VC++ 2005 and Xcode project files. From what I recall, cmake fell down on the Xcode support. Has that changed now? Regards, Dave

Is that something you can knock up fairly easily? Regards, Dave.
