That's not entirely true. The svn trunk now builds with bakefiles so
build system should not be a barrier for people who just want to
contribute to gtk port. I'll try to keep the build working.
Having said that, I would welcome a better build and extending CMake
build to support gtk would be great.
Having said that, I just tried to build qt version on linux with cmake
(currently that's the only one that uses cmake) and I failed so it
seems like cmake build isn't actively maintained either (maybe it
works well on mac, that's one thing I couldn't verify).
It generally works for the QT build.
For my own needs of working on gtk port I've created a simple makefile
generation script (http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11308,
latest version is at
http://kjk.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/webcore/gen-webkit-gdk-makefile.py)
which I think, is a better solution than both bakefile and cmake
(http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2006-October/001364.html).
I was not happy with cmake to be honest its poorly documented and it
seems to have a business model where documentation is sold to support
the work. Not exactly good for
encouraging adoption. I'm not interested in having to purchase a book
for a build tool.
I'm very interested in your script and downloaded it. Long term I did
not see sticking to Cmake as viable and I want to create a build
system based on javascript/xml based on Webkit :)
When I get the chance I plan to convert your python program to
javascript and persue this approach your work is enough to provide me
the foundation I need to do a javascript based build tool.
THANKS !
