We use cmake to build our software and libraries and I agree with he author, it's much more viable than autotools, would it be only for visual studio support.

- hollerith 15y agoNo, you do not agree with the OP. (You probably mistook one of the comments for the OP.) From the README file endorsed by the OP: --start quote-- use autotools - every custom config/makefile build system is worse for everybody than autotools is - we are all used to autotools, it works, nobody cares - it's only two simple files to edit and include in git, which are well understood by many many people, not just you. . . . - And really, anything but autotools is not an option. Just get over it. Everything else is crack, and it will come back to you if you choose anything else, sooner or later. Why? think cross compilation, installation/uninstallation, build root integration, separate object trees, standard adherence, tarball handling, make distcheck, portability between distros, ...
- shin_lao 15y agoYou are correct, then my comment is "the OP is wrong, CMake is not only an alternative to autotools, it's also better in every aspect as a commenter explained".
