I don't want to get involved with the build process decisions.

As a Mac OS X user I have seen my share of unfriendly build systems.

I hope that CMake will allow me to build from the command line using gnu make on OS X. Xcode should not be required.

I didn't know qmake could generate Xcode projects too. I've been
googling for information about this, but I haven't found much. The
first hit is a cryptic thread about the Xcode generator being removed
from the open source version which is worrisome to me.

If you can find me a good documentation about what the extent of qmake
support for OS X-isms are and what the Xcode generator can and cannot
do, I would be interested in reading it.

Having said that, CMake is the devil we know. Within the CMake/OS X
community, we've been pounding the drum for both OS X native features
and Xcode support for about 2 years now and the CMake authors have
been reasonably responsive. A lot of this has been play for awhile
now. The OSG/CMake Wiki page lists the remaining OS X shortcomings
when I wrote it. Before that, they had already done a bunch of stuff
for OS X. Currently the framework building is the only thing still
missing.

I have also been using CMake on Windows (Visual Studio, Msys), Linux,
and FreeBSD and have had few complaints so I'm comfortable with their
cross platform support.

I also know that the CMake authors (and userbase to some extent) are
interested in getting high profile projects to switch. The KDE
adoption of CMake was a big thing for them. I know they are interested
in seeing OSG switch too and they seem willing to help those projects
where they can.

All,
        I have also looked at various cross-platform solutions and must say
that I have yet to find anything that works better than qmake.
qmake is open source, GPL, and is included on most Linux distros by
default.   There are binary installers for OS X and Windows.  It
supports both MS VC and Xcode.

        When used properly it uses some very clean project files and
properly handles creating .app bundles on Mac OS X.

        Many people don't realize that it will work well on projects that
don't even use Qt.

        I worked on a project with over 100K lines of code spread across 50+
directories entirely powered by qmake.
