Is there an equivalent for passing include paths (CFLAGS) and libraries (LIBS, LDFLAGS) or do those environment variable settings work with cmake too? >Also, I bet you'd find autotools equally loathsome if you didn't have >years of experience with it. I especially do not like libtool. More like almost but not quite as much. Since I'm more familiar with autotools, it's a little less unpleasant. Ran into a replacement for libtool a while back. It's not a drop-in replacement, but it looked like it could be useful: https://github.com/alandekok/jlibtool I also found out that Debian and some other distributions eliminate the .la files before installing and I've been making a habit of doing that. I'm trying to avoid hard-coded locations of files whenever possible and the .la files have a lot of them. Am trying to keep the hard-coding down to the .pc (pkg-config) files which my package manager is set to update to the appropriate install directory upon installation of the package. Am hitting some issues with programs that haven't fully switched over to using pkg-config though (sdl-config, smpeg-config, etc.) Was considering using sed to alter them to call pkg-config for the path information where appropriate. My preference is for portable apps and I'm attempting to see just how portable I can make various components even if it means lots of additional patches. >I guess my views are affected by the fact that I used Qt for several >years and it uses qmake. My personal preference is a simple makefile. Guess my views have been affected by DOS/FreeDOS developers. Ken Moffat wrote: > LFS itself took about 3 hours. That is very impressive. Was experimenting with a build of just gcc over the weekend and that took 4 hours by itself. Didn't try the -j option.
