what a shame . cmake is the future. It works will with c/c++, fortran less so ada) and even java is underdevelopment (to replace ant !) (I can envisage a revamped Apache openoffice, postgresql, openjdk etc -all migrating soon to cmake ) cmake is a bit tedius to translate some things from autoconf (the configH porting can be tedious) ut once done, tewaking and maintence is easy. It gives better control on libraries, executables and linking. For instance I had problems linking with atlas9 libraries (fortran) that chocked autconf but was doable with cmake. Thanfuly atlas10 has overcome these. Also QT- ( I consider a crown-jewel-of-the-gpl)-based software increasingly is dropping qmake in favour of cmake. perhaps you should give cmake another whirl cheers luxInteg -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
