Because we have GYP, which eases the pain on Xcode, Visual Studio, SCons, and make users. We developed GYP specifically to meet Chromium's needs. We did consider CMake and even did some prototypes with it, but there were several areas where it wasn't able to meet our needs squarely. More on GYP: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev/browse_thread/thread/7b881a18437fa320/ . Also, a recent thread on webkit-dev about GYP, WebKit, and Chromium touched on CMake: https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2009-July/008881.html . > I think i'll work on > studying the current build system to figure out how to implement a > CMake one. That's fine. Let us (including me) know what you come up with.
