As someone who spent 5 years using cmake to cross compile for a range of arm and android targets your going to have a tough time convincing me it has limited support for cross compiling. Its also worth stating that the majority of Qt/KDE based projects are all using cmake and have been doing so for a long time so saying that Meson is on track to be the one replacement probably isn't fair Until many of the cmake projects start migrating as well. * Disclaimer, i'm currently one of the cmake maintainers for openSUSE. I also don't mind if we go to meson or cmake as long as its done consistently. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
