YMMV.
You *do* realize that cmake is a Makefile pre-processor, just like autoconf right? You get a standard GNU or NMake Makefile in the end (or an IDE file if you prefer that), which can, barring some minor exceptions, be created on a different machine with different architecture for cross-compilation. Scons, Jam and all that crap are not, and that's why the suck for cross compilation. -- Gonzalo Garramuño [EMAIL PROTECTED] AMD4400 - ASUS48N-E GeForce7300GT Kubuntu Edgy _______________________________________________ fltk-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-dev
