Hi,

I am converting a project from autotools to CMake which has a dependency on the the Hans B. GC library. I was wondering what would be the best way to go about converting the GC library. This library already comes with a set of makefiles for different platforms (NT_MAKEFILE, BCC_MAKEFILE, etc, so I was not sure about creating CMakeLists.txt.

If I keep the existing makefile build framework, would I have to code platform specific sections in my projects CMakeLists.txt in order to use the correct makefile depending on the platform ? I suppose I would have to call explicitely the correct make (nmake) for the platform.

Or better, I was wondering if there was a set of CMakeLists.txt for the Hans B. garbage collector.

In the end, I would think that a CMake build would remove all these makefiles for different platforms and thus be the best solution. Maybe this work could be submitted to the maintainers

What do you think ?

David,

Attached is the Find* Module I use to find the lib and include info for BoehmGC in my project.
If you need help with please let me know.
