I've seen a comment about problems with glib-side > developers of poppler regarding cmake, but these are old, from 2010. > At that time, cmake was not only weird to use (just as it is now), it also had obscure dependencies such as xmlrpc which was needed if you wanted t make cmake use the system libs - at that time it needed all of the system libs, or else it would use its own versions for all of them.
Also, at that time the only thing in BLFS which required cmake was kde4. Personally, I've only recently started to use cmake in my normal builds (for graphite2). ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
