Sorry this was meant for the list not Michel only :) From my experience i wholeheartedly agree. Maybe this mainly a windows problem too? But no matter what I tried to build using CMAKE ended up in a frustrating disaster heh

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. _______________________________________________ Openexr-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/openexr-devel Thorsten Kaufmann Production Pipeline Architect ____________________________________ Mackevision Medien Design GmbH Forststraße 7 D-70174 Stuttgart T T +49 711 93 30 48 606 F +49 711 93 30 48 90 M +49 151 19 55 55 02 [email protected] www.mackevision.de Geschäftsführer: Armin Pohl, Joachim Lincke, Karin Suttheimer HRB 243735 Amtsgericht Stuttgart _______________________________________________ Openexr-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/openexr-devel
