My personal feeling is that CMake is the way to go, and that the distributed Makefile.nmake and the support bash scripts for the Windows build will become deprecated. I believe that CMake can generate a Makefile.nmake as well as Visual Studio project files so all preferred workflows should be available. CMake supports both in and out of tree builds, so folks can pick their poison, but I would expect the default to be out of tree. I'm treating my current no-cygwin build modifications as a learning exercise until I get up to speed with CMake, but would make them available if anyone is interested. Currently I've got as far as downloading the required libs, recompiling those that need it and then creating a wireshark.exe. I need to do some more work for TShark, and probably the rest of the executables. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev@wireshark.org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-requ...@wireshark.org?subject=unsubscribe
