Re: [Simh] CMake based build (was: Makefile)

[Bill Deegan]

I have more than 5 years experience with SCons and usually problems are
caused by not understanding how it works.

That said, CMake is popular.
I've used both, have more experience with SCons.
Didn't mean to derail the thread, but thought if cmake didn't run on alpha..

Thanks for the heads up Richard. I just hate things that look pretty on the
surface and then you delve into it and Bam!

Anyway, the point is not SCons.  The point of this thread is CMake.

There is a reasonable point of view that says "if it ain't broke,
don't fix it", which is an argument in favor of the existing
Makefiles.

However, the existing Makefiles duplicate everything that's also in
the Visual Studio projects.  Which, by the way, wouldn't go away if
you switched to SCons, because SCons doesn't solve this problem.

CMake, however, does solve this problem.  CMake can generate
Makefiles, Xcode projects, VS projects and other build system projects
(like ninja).  You keep the functionality you have, but eliminate the
need to maintain two build systems.

I'm the co-manager of the SCons project and would be willing to assist.

I only have limited experience with SCons but I have found it extremely
intuitive and easy to use. It could be worth a shot.

Is there python on alpha? you could use SCons

[Simh] CMake based build (was: Makefile)

[Richard]

Since the build has been a subject of discussion lately, is there any
interest in migrating to a CMake build?

I'm willing to give it a go if there is interest.

This would completely eliminate the need to duplicate build logic in
the VS projects as they would simply be generated by CMake.
