Hi Everyone, We caught another bug report from CMake. This one is confounding because the cause of the bug is fixing a previous CMake bug, and the previous fix was in accordance with CMake recommendations. Also see https://github.com/weidai11/cryptopp/issues/486.
CMake is responsible for 18% of the bugs in the bug reporter. Its not easy to maintain and its a constant source of problems. It picks awful flags by default and its difficult to change them. Its also poorly documented, so we often don't know how to fix problems when they arise. I'd like to remove CMake from the library and add it to the Patch Page on the wiki. The patch page is where we place stuff that's helpful for users but not a good fit for the library. CMake and its problems clearly falls into the category. Others in the category include the PEM Pack and OS Protected Storage classes. Also see https://www.cryptopp.com/wiki/Category:Patch. Moving CMake from the library sources to the patch page means CMakeList.txt will still be available as a download from https://www.cryptopp.com/wiki/CMake. It also means the community who uses it will have to maintain it instead of the project. Are there any persuasive arguments to keep CMake associated with the project's sources?
