---------------------------------
Summary: Deprecate autoconf/automake build system.
Key: QPID-4640
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-4640
Project: Qpid
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build Tools
Affects Versions: 0.20
Reporter: Alan Conway
Assignee: Alan Conway
Deprecate the automake build system in favour of the cmake build system. The
cmake system has been in use for several years now, and is more portable
(supports windows). Having two redundant systems is a source of confusion and
errors.
- Update docs (INSTALL, README, release notes etc.) to use cmake
- The configure script will fail by default with a deprecation message.
- Users can still use automake by doing "configure --use-deprecated=yes"
We will keep both systems working for this release, and remove the automake
system in a subsequent release. This gives us at least one release cycle with
both systems available so we can fix any bugs/deficiencies found in the cmake
system as users switch from automake.
