---------------------------------------
What are the benefits of CMake?
If you are looking for better build system I would recommend Tup then.

> Converting to cmake from autotools

> Key: THRIFT-797
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-797
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Test
> Components: Build Process
> Environment: cmake
> Reporter: Pierre-Alexandre St-Jean
> Attachments:

>
> Replace automake by cmake
> This patch only has parts done ie: the compiler and cpp compiler part.
> This would affect all the project and is only a test. The advantages of cmake
> is that is is available easily on all platforms and generates makefiles for
> lots of systems. The only disavantage is that cmake would be a requirement
> even for non developers would want to build thrift. Also thrift would ease
> for the port on windows.
> Alternatives would be scons and waf. I am currently doing a test with waf
> build system too (advantage of waf is that it is standalone and can be
> packaged with the app)
