It is as native as we can make it. However, we do call cmake during the build at some points, to overcome shortfalls of the build tool. Also, to re-run cmake if any of the input files change. Also, basic system commands like cp can be done with cmake -E copy_file so it is portable. -Bill _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
