Hello everyone, Sorry for the quick interruption, but somehow I have the feeling this discussion will start again and again and again, if it has ever appeared to end. Here are my two cents...
IMHO there might be a misunderstanding concerning Kitware's CMake strategy: It is a domain specific language (DSL) for -- as this might indicate -- one specific purpose and therefore, by intention, not a general purpose (scripting) language; thus it concentrates correctly on its (single & powerful) core task/challenge. An estimated set of 7% of CMake's language commands covers about 97% of the usual cases. (Note that I have not even thought about thinking about this numbers.) Please accept this as an almost completely serious "feed to a never ending (?) discussion", Reinhold _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
