seconded by the various: cmake --help-XXXXX XXXXX = command, module, policy, property, variable, XXXXX-list works as well. If you are Unix/Linux+bash user the cmake-completion script may help you too: http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob_plain;f=Docs/cmake-completion;hb=HEAD May be you can tell us what are your targeted platform(s) and main development host such that we can give you better insight on why CMake may (or may not) fullfil your needs. Which build system are you using now? Autotools, SCons, custom makefiles, some IDE project files? Are you cross-compiling or not? Have you some packaging needs where CPack can help? Do you use some continuous testing technics where CTest can help too? -- Erk Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
