well, the qt library is actually only used for the gui, it should not be necessary under normal circumstances. I don't like the fact that the qt integration commands are deeply integrated in the binary either, it would be nice if it had a plugin mechanism for extending the language, but this also testifies that the cmake team is listening to the needs of developers... you can read the full story at LWN http://lwn.net/Articles/188693/ The neat part is that if you don't like the makefile generator, you can use another build system (you can find the list at http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake2.6docs.html#section_Generators) This is actually the part that I like most, I built mixxx with visual studio, and with make under linux, I can have it built integrated in eclipse (although it has its share of bugs, mainly due to eclipse not supporting out-of tree builds), inside kdevelop, and I'm writing this on a macbook as I try to resolve some linking issues (reported by xcode, and yes, I get a native xcode project too :) ) I've just finished converting the build infrastructure at my company from a can-full-o-worms-POS custom makefile collection to cmake and I can only say this... if it works on AIX, it will most probably work anywhere :D The cool part is, this is only the beginning. The fun starts when you start using cpack and dart ;) Lunch is waiting though, TTL! -- Claudio Bantaloukas http://www.rdfm.org/ammuzzu/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Mixxx-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mixxx-devel
