With the popularity CMake is gaining, maybe this general skepticism will fade away. > So, the result was some wxWidgets > folks created the Bakefile system.

You mean generated at configuration/build time from the bakefile system? That seems like a good idea. They would have to generate different files probably, since different configurations co-exist. wxWidgets-unicode-release.cmake wxWidgets-unicode-static.cmake I could help in creating the structure for the wxWidgets.cmake and how that would be used from the FindwxWidgets.cmake, etc. However, I don't have the time to learn how the bakefile system works and where the generation would be triggered... maybe Jorgen can help here :) --Miguel _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
