Another point is "However, there are many cases where the current build process depends on a large set of external tools like bash, awk, findutils, coreutils." Does the actual building require these or is it more of a case of "need these, because dmake/build.pl needs these"? In my OOo CMake experiment I built idlc, generated urd, Java etc all without needing the tools listed. Perhaps someone could post an example from current build where these are used.
One example that comes to mind is solenv/inc/tg_shl.mk calling solenv/bin/addsym.awk on Linux and solenv/bin/addsym-macosx.sh on Mac OS X, each needed to adjust the generic linker version map files checked into the OOo code base to the specific needs of those respective platforms.
If one is going to go the CMake route, the long term smart thing to do is probably to convert these existing things into CMake's internal syntax. It has quite a rich library of stuff. Yes, this is more work but the good news is that you don't have to do it at once. First you can replicate the old build system by calling the awk scripts and what have you and then replace them one by one. With CMake macros and some discipline this is straightforward.
Sounds good. -Stephan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tools.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tools.openoffice.org
