+1 Cmake build scripts have currently some limitations (CUDA, lapack, F16 etc) especially for cross compilations. I am currently working on those [1]. lapack and BLAS cmake module coming soon. Once this is done all ci builds can be ported to use cmake builds. Regarding amalgamation: It

In light of this, maybe it is time to deprecate amalgamation? GIven there is already support for Pi, and we could use TVM to compile to javascript with WebGL Tianqi On Fri, Jun 1, 2018 at 3:24 PM, Rahul Huilgol wrote: > +1 > > Let's move to CMake. It has much better support, and it's not worth

+1 Let's move to CMake. It has much better support, and it's not worth maintaining two build systems. If we really want we could maintain a make file which manages the installation of cmake and calls cmake internally! It seems easy to install cmake. There is a shell script with binary for all

building for rpi doesn't mean you should build on a rpi... that takes forever. 2018-06-01 23:06 GMT+01:00 Anirudh : > +1 to using cmake and deprecating Makefile. I was able to find a previous > discussion on this: > https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/8702 > > The concerns raised

+1 Thanks for bringing this up. Maintaining two build systems is a pain. If we decide to make cmake default, please make sure all installation documentations are updated correspondingly. They're currently all using "make" if installed from source. Best, Haibin On Fri, Jun 1, 2018 at 3:06 PM,

+1 to using cmake and deprecating Makefile. I was able to find a previous discussion on this: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/8702 The concerns raised were 1. Building on devices like raspberry pi where cmake is non existent or old. 2. Adding an additional dependency. As

Just realized that the email lists strips aways all hyperlinks. Attached is a copy of my previous email with links pasted in. What are peoples' thought on requiring cmake when building from source? Currently we have to maintain two independent build files (CMakeLists and Makefile) which makes it
