As the author of all the CMake stuff, hopefully it was in a good light :)
Codec2 is a piece of cake to build using the mingw/msys or devstudio. The

Yeah, the autotools config is in pretty good shape for codec2 but I figured
if I was going to convert freedv that I should convert codec2 as well. The
cmake version allows you to choose whether to install the examples or not
and the unit tests. The latter was important for me because I can't run the
unit tests when cross compiling unless I do something similar to what I use
for the codebook generators, i.e. Build the linux version first which
exports a cmake project for the codebook generator binaries, and then
attempt the windows cross-compile build while importing the exported code
generator binaries. If that sounds convoluted, it's because it is, but it
works!
I haven't gotten to the end of the FreeDV build process yet so I can't yet

Yeah, I've definitely fought my way through building the dependencies as
well, but in general, one you're done, unless there's a new version to
build, you're done.
As David just mentioned, the plan is to move away from libctb and use
hamlib. The only problem I've found so far is that it seems to be only
designed to use serial ports for CAT control. I would have thought it would
have a simple serial module to do simple serial PTT keying which I need for
my old rig, but I haven't found it.
