I tried to do it all in cmake for a while, but then I gave up and use a shell script or something to drive the inner builds. The problem was, some developers wanted to not build everything; they wanted precompiled versions of the other packages. And it was just too painful for some devs to build one way, and others to build another way. - Dan -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
