It is. It is even close to be build-botted :)
I can have it sent to you, but as I said, for the moment, it's really
focused on the changes we made, but we can start talking about it since
our goal is to have our changes integrated to the TOT when we're ready
to propose it.
BTW, CMake is really good at distributing compilation compared to
Bakefile ;)
You can contact me on gtalk [EMAIL PROTECTED] or skype jcverdie so that
we see how to move forward.

Hi.
I'm also very interesting in switching from bakefiles to cmake. As you
said, having a single build system for the ports makes more easier to
maintain it.
Is your cmake build system already done? If true, I'd like to use it
with the webkit TOT to compile the gdk port.
Regards.

Hi
For our WebKit customization, we first used Bakefile from the original
gtk port.
The issue with it was that it was impossible (or we didn't figure how)
to make a .so and a .a from the same sources and on the same target.
We dropped it to switch to CMake which we find very interesting for our
goals: highly customizable, it's flawless to change a library dependency
before launching a compilation.
It's really interesting since our refactoring is based upon a clear
split between what is really (from our point of view) WebKit, and what
is platform+OS dependent (font engine, graphic context, threads, and so
on). To have a powerful configure engine meant to us to be able to :
- cross compile while minimizing modification in the tool chain and the
meta-makefile.
- be able to quickly switch from an implementation to another.
- keep the source directories clean (build the project in foreign
directories).
We find out that CMake matched theses goals. While it's probably not the
only one, it still is one :)
I hope that we can eventually merge our toolchain with other's efforts
to try and minimize the number of toolchains for un*x platforms.
Regards
Jean-Charles
