Hi All, A couple of weeks ago I mentioned my intention to move over entirely across to the new CMake build system and remove the old GNUMakefile, VisualStudio and XCode build directories. The CMake work has continued to move forward, all problems that have come up have been solved quickly and painlessly save for the area of framework support under OSX, but CMake are working on this so this too should be possible soon. All in all CMake looks to be a good choice.
I have been using CMake for dev work exclusively this week and its held up just fine, I am probably more productive now using CMake than I was before use the old GNUmakefile system. The old thing holding back my productivity on the build front is maintaining the old build systems in parallel with the Cmake system, so I'm keen to move entirely across as soon as possible. What I'd like to do is get the old build systems tested and working, tag the OpenThreads and OpenSceneGraph trees then remove first the GNUmakefile and VisualStudio build systems, then later the Xcode one too. I need you assistance to test old build systems to make sure they are working before I tag and then remove them so we have a solid point in time to refer back to, and for those developers not able/keen to move across to using Cmake for SVN builds right away. On the Xcode front Eric Wing is now a SVN writer for the Xcode project directory so will maintain this till we have Cmake fully working. I will step back from trying to maintain the Xcode projects, as it was a big drain on my time and RSI, and being next to impossible for me to maintain them anyway virtue of not having an Apple and the Xcode XML files being total mess from a human readable/editable perspective. So address Eric with fixes, bug reports on the old Xcode projects. The future of Xcode support is via Cmake though, so this is where we are heading, keeping Xcode around a bit longer is just to carry us over period when Cmake doesn't have framework support. So testing of the old build systems and feedback please, once things look stable I'll tag the build. Thanks, Robert. _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://openscenegraph.net/mailman/listinfo/osg-users http://www.openscenegraph.org/
