I've used CMake for at least a dozen different projects over about a
decade. It's superb. I use a single set CMake files to generate builds
for Visual Studio, Linux/make/gcc, and XCode (mega-ugh).
A particularly nice feature of CMake is its support for abstract
packages. For example, you can say:
find_package (Threads)
that will pick up the platform specific thread files. There is also a
pre-defined package for UCS. It's straight forward to write your own
packages, which I did for the MPIR multiple precision arithmetic libraries.
I tend to do primary development on Visual Studio, which works very,
very well with CMake. The only thing that doesn't work very well is
using Visual Studio to generate new builds when a CMakeLists.txt file is
changed, which can readily corrupt the project .sdf file. Deleting that
file and doing a full rebuild generally works, but closing the project,
doing an explicit cmake gen, and re-opening the project is much less of
a hassle.

Hi!
I prepared building of Firebird using CMake.
You can find more information on the link below. Also you can try it.

CMake can simplify the build process, solve a lot of problems with
integration icu, zlib and other libraries into the build (I saw
discussions here about them during last 2-3 weeks).
I hope you find this useful and consider including this into trunk.
If you like it, we'll discuss details about patch later.
p.s. I read some previous discussions in fb-devel list about CMake,
but no one presented a working patch.
