the problems on Windows emit mainly from the lack of a common package manager (obtaining libxml2-dev etc..) and a bogus pkg-config binaries. if CMake can solve these problems that won't be a bad idea, but i doubt it will. on the other hand the project already depends on Qt and qmake has the same portability as a build system. technically the native Windows build *does* use qmake the same way it's used on Unix based OS. lubomir -- _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.hohndel.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
