This means we can only rely on a system wide installed cmake ? For the user, it is only one package to install (apt-get...). But the autotools, too, are supposed to be installed system wide. So, where is the problem? I understand that Sage uses as few as possible dependencies as possible -which extremly nice-, but cmake is now widely used. I think that, sooner or later, sage will need cmake: most programmers are switching from the autotools to cmake: it is much easier to learn, to adapt and to use, and extremely powerfull. I have ported all my codes (generally C++ + some Fortran + MPI +...) to cmake. I feel much better now :-) t.d. >> On 6/02/2015, at 19:54, Jeroen Demeyer <jdeme...@cage.ugent.be> wrote: >> >> On 2015-02-05 23:06, William wrote: >>> I wonder what is the latest on Sage and cmake?
