If we provided toolchain.cmake (passed to CMake via -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<path>) file for each crossdev, that could not only set compiler paths/etc but also override CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH, we would get pretty close to autotools. Yes, CMake has pretty rudimentary (to put it mildly..) cross-compilation support but it still can be done there somewhat "right". regards MM
