Changed the subject line to something more appropriate.
The current status of the new CMake-based build system for the installed
examples is I have had a bit of extra time to play with it and have used
that to add the C++, f77, f95, and D (!) examples builds (revision 9973).
So this is already shaping up to be much more than a simple proof of concept.
The new build-system works fine to build all those installed examples on my
Debian Lenny platform, and I request others try it out as well to make sure
there are no platform-dependent example build issues with this approach.
For the next step I plan to add a custom target "test_noninteractive" (the
"test" target is already taken by cmake) to run all the install-tree tests
that are available (including test_diff.sh with its nice summary output)
with appropriate dependencies for all the examples that are built. For
those who have access to hardware with more than one CPU and access to CMake
generators that allow taking advantage of those multiple CPUs, this allows
N-times faster testing (where N is the number of CPUs) than what is
currently available in the build tree with the ctest approach.
More later.
