Hi all, My team is just starting with CMake to have our WebKit port (EFL), so far we like it as it is much cleaner than our previous experiences (most of our projects use autotools).
Since webkit is a monster project (1668 objects generated), even doing stat() on all files takes time, so make when there is nothing to make takes more than we'd like. To solve this there are alternatives to "make" that are quite nice, giving UNIX the speed other projects that uses all-in-one IDE/compiler have, they do track the files that changed and there is no need to check, you already know what changed. One of the alternatives is tup (http://gittup.org/tup/index.html), it uses Linux inotify support to track what changed and is quite nice. All it need is a tupfile that represents a DAG, one can see examples in http://gittup.org/tup/examples.html Tup also traps open() system calls using LD_PRELOAD and will automatically know the dependencies based on files it reads. As we never attempted to do any sort of CMake generator, not even looking the existing, I'd like to know the expected effort to write one for Tup from you guys. Anyone that would like to help with this task?
