I let people with more experience than me with XCode, iphone & Co. comment on that. However, a general rule with CMake is to consider that cmake itself becomes a requirement of your build system. With CMake (at least currently) the developer/user cannot work without CMake if the project (makefiles, IDE project files (Visual Studio, XCode, Eclipse) has been generated with it. see e.g. http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ#Why_does_CMake_use_full_paths.2C_or_can_I_copy_my_build_tree.3F or http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=11095 -- Erk Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
