Ah yes, sorry - for some reason I was thinking the dependency was the other way round and that somehow makefile.vc* needed makefile.dist rather than maefile.dist invoking makefile.vc* :( > We can thus change the relevant targets in Makefile.dist to instead > invoke the makefile in winbuild/.

It sounds like a plan to me - I'm not sure I have the necessary makefile skills myself to make the changes but its something I would like to be involved with from an autobuild point of view. > I want us to deprecate the cmake build system since I believe it > mostly confuses users and distracts them into thinking they can > actually use that to build a curl/libcurl version in similar style > that configure or the makefile based builds can do but it is just > so inferior in comparison. We use cmake here for our product's various build targets so I believe it has it's place but whether or not it has a place in (lib)curl is not really something I think I can comment on. > But I'll take that in a separate thread later on. No worries. BTW, Please feel free to send over any patches if you want me to test them on my autobuild machines.
