Comment #1 on issue 658 by [email protected]: use cmake for builds
http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=658
My understanding is that using CMake will allow us to use one set of build
configuration files for all platforms so it probably will make it easier to
maintain.
I don't see the benefit of using CMake from the users' point of view
though. Even with CMake, users still need to "to build with mingw, run
CMake with these parameters and make; to build with VC, run CMake with
those parameters and open the generated sln file". Unless the user already
uses CMake in his project, using CMake just adds another step to their
build process. The sln/vcproj files we provide being behind the latest MSVC
version doesn't seem a problem to me. Upgrading is just one or two clicks.
The one-off fixes you mentioned are needed any way regardless of whether
CMake is used.
