I just noticed that KDE uses CMake to do builds. At my company we've been looking for a decent alternative to make. Would anyone with experience with CMake care to comment on its quality?
Depends on if you care about cross-platform development or not. CMake and Scons are both radically different approaches to cross-platform build systems, and there's also the Bakefile [1] route that the wxWidgets project uses to generate makefile, Visual Studio project files, Borland, and other IDE project files so all target platforms have a single build configuration file with all options. I hear CMake can work close to the same, though I've never used it. If you aren't working in a cross-platform environment, I don't really think CMake is necessary, I'd look closer into using Scons as I think it would provide a much easier to use build system for single platform use.
