What you can do to make _me_ use cmake is providing the
UI and functionality I'm used to, something like:
Build with:
mkdir build && cd build/ &&
../configure &&
make &&
make check &&
make distcheck &&
make dist &&
make install
Test single cases with:
tests/unit/geos_unit <args>
and/or:
tests/xmltester/XMLTester <args>
With those testers using the _built_ (not the _installed_)
libraries.
If you can get CMake to reach that state of functionality
I might start using it and see how hard it would be for me
as a contributor to also maintain it.
