The benefit cmake brings to the table, from my pov, is that it allows to get rid of somewhat a parallel buildsystem (msvc / windows, which sources most of its information from the makefiles). If we continue to have two, especially if they're entirely separate, I see little benefit in this whole endeavor. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
