Hi all, I'm one of the developer of Hedgewars, an open source video game written in c++ and Pascal, using CMake as build system. Please see the full site at http://www.hedgewars.org/
Right now our pascal integration is a little hack-y, http://code.google.com/p/hedgewars/source/browse/hedgewars/CMakeLists.txtas we just add many 'custom_command' and 'custom_target' all around the place. This has caused issues on many many platforms, especially at the linking stage. I was wondering whether it would it be possible to have the Pascal language as one "officially" supported languages, so that it'd be possible to write add_sources() on the .pas files and live happily ever after. If so, I think we could make this work thanks to the Google Summer of Code! This program (*if* they announce it) basically introduces students to the world of FOSS development by having them work on a project for an open source organization during the summer. I don't know if CMake wants to participate this year, but in case not, if there is one developer willing to act as mentor for a student, Hedgewars (*if* selected) would happily allocate one of its students to work on this task and act as a "umbrella" for this single project targeting CMake sources. Of course the student would still have to write a sensible project proposal for being accepted. What do you think of this idea? Cheers, Vittorio (koda on #hedgewars)
