It is do-able in the CMake "Makefile" generator but AFAICT cannot possibly work for the Ninja generator or the VS/Xcode generators. Those all let the build tool do their own dependencies. > 4.

It's not the same interface as menuconfig but it has the same capabilities and works on all platforms CMake supports. > Because the license issue and mmap() issue, codes need to be re-implement. Yes.

Personally I see little value in supporting an auxiliary configuration system in a way that works only with one of our generators. However, if it can be implemented in a way that is not intrusive and can be enabled optionally then it would be an acceptable patch. There must still be a way to follow autoconf.h with normal scanning if the kconfig part is not enabled. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.

We cannot link GPLed code, and we need a portable implementation.

[cmake-developers] Integrate fixdep for kconfig
Hi, I would like to use kconfig from Linux for my project settings. So I integrate fixdep tools into CMake for parsing CONFIG_xxx key words and set proper dependency of files that are generated by kconfig. My scratch is attached. However, here come some issues. 1. The codes from fixdep is declared as GPL. But CMake use BSD. 2. fixed use mmap(). But this API is not support well on Windows. So could any expert in CMake development give me some recommendations?
