In conclusion, I think that CMake might become a viable alternative to GNUstep Make. Does anyone beg to differ? Better alternatives? Keep GNUstep Make? I see that the SideStep people use Autotools and a customized jam called gsjam...
I might be old-fashioned, but I'd like to keep make. Make is proven on unix and that platform remains after all our main target. On windows we need gcc anyway... For a unix person, make is a reasonable way to work with and it is easy to package since people have experience with it. I don't see a big need for integration in other development environments in that "clunky" way of yet-another meta-tool, since we should have our own IDEs anyway. FUrthermore the integration with say ProjectCenter is yet another good thing of make. I dislike what apple did with the macosx transition of projectbuilder: the removal of make.
Thus I am not saying that cmake is crap, but that make is more apt to us. On the other side some issues you stir up against gnustep-make are really present: maintaineance! Also the current usage pf p2link causes possible troubles when making and installing with "sudo".
