Yes, I also already had this idea. But let's do this step-by-step, first one being moving it out of kdelibs. Kitware wants only BSD-licensed software in their "products". Matthias and I agreed that we could relicense it to BSD. But I am not sure about how that fits with GPL-only Qt. Does the GPL Qt make automoc automatically GPL even if the files say it's BSD ? And how does the Qt GPL exception mix into that ? Beside that, we should ask the cmake maintainers first whether they would actually accept it. The chances may be quite good. They would be _much_ better if automoc would use only the STL (that would also make building Qt with cmake easier). > Otherwise Qt-only apps will have to say "requires cmake and > automoc", both coming from a different place.... > (and the name "automoc" is already taken by the old kde1 tool, technically) > This one is really a cmake-automoc or something like that. I think it should be possible to use it also from other build tools, but I guess Scons does the work in python, qmake has the feature, what about autotools and Qt4 ? > > Is there any compatibility issues with this ? > > I think it should be ok, automoc will still be there if kdelibs is > > installed. > > You mean kdesupport will install it as "automoc" and kdelibs will install > it as "kde4automoc" so that they don't create a conflict? > > Or you mean "kdelibs will require automoc which kdesupport will provide"?
