Hi, I'm currently testing CMake (http://www.cmake.org) for possible use in personal projects. CMake manages the build process in an operating system and compiler independent manner.
I read some complaints about autotools on this list and i wonder if there is some interest to replace autotools with cmake for transcode. What i like about cmake is * it has no dependencies (apart from C/C++-compiler), especially no python or java like some other build tools * it can do out-of-source builds * it is cross-platform and generates native makefiles and workspaces * it is quite easy to configure (I could get transcode to compile with cmake within an afternoon. If there is interest (especially from Andrew and Francesco) to give cmake a try, i would gladly volunteer for implementing it for transcode. Autotools and CMake could be used side by side, so transcode could always be compiled using autotools, while cmake isn't ready. What do you think? (albeit "never change a running system") Greetings and a happy new year, Thomas Wehrspann
