I have come across cmake-d and a modified version of cmake (https://github.com/trentforkert/cmake).
Oh hey, that's me!
I haven't tested them yet, because neither of them is updated recently, and I don't know if I should invest time in them.
I've got a handful of work-in-progress changes I've yet to push publicly, and even more I've yet to commit. (Yes, I have weird work habits.)
So I want to know what is the current status of those build systems?
I'm still around, and I fix bugs when they get in my way or someone else complains.
Are they abandoned
No. Neglected, but not abandoned.
or still actively developed?
If I can find the time (and the files, which hopefully survived a recent Linux distro-switch), I'll see about cleaning up and publishing the additional changes I have soon, and getting things on to a more recent version of CMake.
As Steven Dwy said, I put the project on a bit of a hiatus while waiting for shared lib support to be ironed out (specifically, the behavior of `export`). Part of my unpublished changes includes a change that renders my previous concerns on that front solved regardless of what becomes of `export`. I would still like to be able to run tests for building shared libraries, and I won't even consider upstreaming until I can. Like I said though, I'll deal with bug reports if you file them.
