There could be a benefit - the build time ;-) The build.pl/deliver.pl/dmake combination is known for taking considerable time to just check that there's nothing to build; I wonder how would it compare with cmake. Unfortunately, from what I read, Jussi can compile just VCL now; if he manages to build 'sw' or 'sc', I think we can make a good comparison - Jussi, can you please try to build those? I think both cold and warm build times would be interesting, both with dmake and with cmake so that we can see the benefit. And ideally, I'd be interested in such tests both on Linux as well as on Windows [where we have the big penalty of starting the dmake subprocesses from build.pl in the cygwin environment]. If cmake wins considerably - I support the switching ;-) Regards, Kendy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
