It would replace automake,autoconf with cmake. The required dependency would become :
- thrift - cmake - boost - bison - flex i did not search what libtool is used for maybe it would not be needed anymore. Boost is compatible with msvc (visual studio compiler) mingw/cygwin would not be required anymore. What is complicated for now is all the dependencies of automake / autoconf , it requires perl and others. -- Pierre-Alexandre St-Jean On Mon, May 17, 2010 at 7:18 PM, David Reiss <dre...@facebook.com> wrote: > What software requirements would this place on users who download > the source tarball? > > --David > > Pierre-Alexandre St-Jean wrote: > > Hi, i've got a suggestion (and is new here). > > > > Maybe it would be more practical to convert thrift to cmake or scons to > > compile git.
