I'm not sure why, but I have a dislike for CMake. Whenever I run into it, I run into a problem as well. For example, over the weekend I was supposed to compile a library for iOS. After figuring out that all configuration tests were failing (so that, for example, the header defining uint32_t and friends could not be found), I spent an afternoon trying to find out which command line is being used to compile the test program so I could see why the compiler is failing. All online instructions help with getting verbose output from the generated makefile -- but I'm having troubles with generating the makefile. All in all, I'm not too impressed with CMake. On surface, it indeed looks like a lot easier and readable way to write build systems. But I get the feeling that it comes with its own set of problems. Maybe it's just me. -- Ivan Vučica [email protected] - http://ivan.vucica.net/
