As far as I know, there are still a lot of project against the ideas of using CMake to replace the autotools. For the project I am active in (mostly small project), libusb project and its fork libusbx are not using CMake but rather autotools + MSVC solution file; openocd project is still using autotools (no MSVC compatibility). There were CMake discussions at some point of the projects because many people did not quite like autotools. But later the idea were shot down since CMake helped to solved some issues but create some new issues. In the end, autotools are more flexible and easier to fix if there are issues. For the other two projects I am in, libusb-win32 and libusbK, we stick to MSVC solution and plain Makefile. Only one project is adopting CMake (libftdi) replacing autotools and there are still issues to get the CMake right (eg: the python binding) even though it is not a very complicated project. -- Xiaofan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
