Re: [Freetel-codec2] codec2-dev different results with cmake vs. autotools

For the average person, Autotools isn't really required at all, and if there is regular communication between multiple developers on a specific sub-project, only the person tasked with maintaining the Autotools build needs to have the proper version.  This seems to be in contrast to cmake which appears to require that everyone has it installed, whether they are a developer or not. I think this is what bothers me the most about it; not that it's an unneeded change necessarily, but that simply compiling from source, which many users like to do, will require that they install an additional software package that they have never needed to do in the past.

Yes and no, a lot of projects use older versions and often a autoreconf or patching is required, at least that's been my experience as a Fedora packager, but then again Fedora is more bleeding edge so the problems probably come up more there.
 
The CMake support here requires CMake 2.8 (right?). Centos 6 comes with
cmake 2.6.4 . Thus you'd need to install cmake separately in order to
build the program (right?).

There's an easier way. Install the Fedora EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) repository[1] and install the "cmake28" package which is designed to be parallel installable with the existing EL package. The only quirk is you need to run "cmake28" instead of "cmake". Other than that, it should "Just Work".
