[chromium-dev] Re: CMake for chromium
yea I noticed that KDevelop does intellisense much better than MS does intellisense (all I had to do was set the header includes path to src/, and it was essentially instant to parse the symbols). I'm not sure what the point of a generator for it would be though.

[chromium-dev] Re: CMake for chromium
Nesting. CMake claims to be able to generate build configs in all sorts of formats, and so does gyp. It would just be fun to see CMake dancing to gyp's tune, or vice versa. But you're right, I don't think it'd be particularly useful. It'd be more interesting to understand the originally reported problem, "pain on for example xcode or kdevelop users". What is the problem, again? Does the OP want xcode or kdevelop to run gyp when the user starts a build?

Because we have GYP, which eases the pain on Xcode, Visual Studio, SCons, and make users. We developed GYP specifically to meet Chromium's needs. We did consider CMake and even did some prototypes with it, but there were several areas where it wasn't able to meet our needs squarely. More on GYP: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev/browse_thread/thread/7b881a18437fa320/ . Also, a recent thread on webkit-dev about GYP, WebKit, and Chromium touched on CMake: https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2009-July/008881.html . > I think i'll work on > studying the current build system to figure out how to implement a > CMake one.
