It's been a month since I announced the intention, to switch all the main FG platforms to use CMake, and to deprecate and remove the other build systems from Git. There's been many small improvements in the Cmake files since then, which I hope have eased some people's concerns about the switch.
(Notably Brisa' compile scripts have been updated to use Cmake!) I still have some work to do, to ensure the 'make dist' rules are handled property in CMake, so we don't get a shock when releasing FG 2.6 in a few months. Are there are any other issues people have, areas they think should be tested, etc? I'd love to know the status of cygwin and mingw, but only people who run those environments can test or improve them. Barring last minute surprises, my intention is to declare the other build systems 'dead' next weekend (the 21st), and then gradually start disabling Jenkins jobs, removing files, and so on. The idea is to force everyone who runs FG from Git, to definitely be testing and using CMake, in plenty of time for the 2.6 release.
