Hi Matt, Scott and others, Have you some plans related to CMake as building tool?
It seems that (in addiction to me) other members also see many benefits in using CMake to build Nupic. One of these advantages is that it could be used as a build tool itself (just like Autotools) or then for generating solution files for XCode, MonoDevelop/VisualStudio, Eclipse, etc. Furthermore, it is easier to understand than autotools and also could simplify the process. I have researched on internet and found there´s a strong trend in open-source projects make transition from Autotools to CMake give its features (KDE is an example). I have in mind that this would increase productivy of the community (as expressed by Matt in other post) because it brings flexibility to developers without change the project structure. The own XCode project could be removed if CMake was adopted decreasing the number of files in structure. If you agree, we could create a JIRA item for CMake. What do you think? Best, David PS: I already performed some conversion from Makefiles (generated by setup.py in build.sh) to CMakeLists.txt in order to check the feasibility and it SEEMS that the job is not so painful.
