Looks interesting, but for the short term (i.e., the 2.0.x timeframe), maintaining and improving the autotools-based system we have now seems like it will be way less effort than switching. To switch, we'd have to learn cmake, convert all our autoconf and automake stuff to use it, testing it on all the platforms where libevent currently builds, and shake out any bugs we find. That's not something to do in a release series we're trying to finish and stabilize. Maybe in 2.1.x, if somebody wants to actually do the work. But if somebody else writes a compatible cmake/whatever file, it would be great if they share it with the rest of the list so they can try to get the bugs out. yrs, -- Nick _______________________________________________ Libevent-users mailing list Libevent-users@monkey.org http://monkeymail.org/mailman/listinfo/libevent-users
