Are there any other methods of for me to better understand cmake idioms in a large scale project? I'm trying to do that Bruce Eckel 'Thinking in Cmake" kind of thing....
KDE is an extremely large-scale project so you might want to look at what they have done. I agreed with many of the autotools observations made in the article at http://lwn.net/Articles/188693/ by Alexander Neundorf about KDE's transition from autotools to CMake. So inspired by that article I am in the midst of a project to transform the build system of the PLplot scientific plotting software from autotools to CMake. Because KDE has just gone through this process themselves, I use their CMakeLists.txt files and module files (accessible by anonymous svn) as sources of ideas backed up by the LJ CMake article/tutorial and the cmake man page. So far I am having success with the PLplot components I have tried to configure and build with CMake, but there is still some way to go because PLplot has many different kinds of components, and I am only 4 days into the project.
