why would you parse any cmake output? You install to a temp dir (on a ram drive 
if you like) which you own. You can simply recursively list it. You can even 
calculate the delta yourself.

To be frank, i don't understand this shit response to steve. I solved this 
exact problem two years ago with a ridiculously short bash script for 
$secretNokiaProject. Re-implementing this in c++ would have taken less time 
than this discussion already took, not to mention the time wasted with the 
other approach and the subsequent hacks to make it less broken.

I am with Andre here: Having something now is better than maybe getting 
something later. I am not doubting anybody commitment, it is just nice to have 
something to test things with.

Yep, right. But till we have that we can still serve one user:-)

I beg to differ: We support a range of different options for qmake and do not 
see why that should not work for cmake.

My impression was that we will go with the current patch for now and see how 
things develop from there:-)

Quite frankly I hope there is a solution that does not involve creeping and 
parsing cmake output. Parsing is always fragile. Having cmake generate 
something is most likely more stable.

PS: While talking about parsing: Qbs does produce great output for parsing the 
build output. Basically you get the file being worked on, the full command run 
and the output to stderr and stdout. That makes figuring out what any warning 
is about really easy. Can we get similar information from cmake?
