The kde-on-windows team is maintaining a python script called "emerge" (yes, the same name as under Gentoo, but it is not related to it) to build a whole bunch of packages, including downloading them, etc. Maybe you can have a look at that too, and see whether this could also be something which could be extended ? http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/Windows/emerge Alex -- 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
