I am hoping that CMake can serve our needs well.
Somehow I disagree.
I've been using and compiling free libraries using cmake for a while
now, and I have to say that's the worst build system I've ever seen. Of
all the libraries I've compiled, OpenEXR is the only one that I could
build with a few tweaks only. For most of the others, it's easier and
faster to create visual solutions from scratch than having Cmake
correctly generating the projects.
I'm quite sure that it would not be more difficult to maintain Visual
Solution than updating the CMake config files (that's what I with other
libraries), and far much easier for people to use them. For my point of
view (user building third party libraries with it), Cmake seems so
complicated, generates so many files and uses so many variables that
it's hard to believe it's easy for library maintainers to update it.
