Hi, the file from Gustavo are mainly for the EFL port. It's not a general buildsystem and some parts are not real "CMake style" in the moment. I did some "cleanup" for the JavaScriptCore files already, but for the WebCore and WebKit parts it is a bigger task.
As I already wrote at [1] I will help creating a general, not EFL specific, CMake buildsystem, but I didn't get any responses until now. - Patrick [1] https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2010-April/012599.html On Mon, 3 May 2010 15:23:11 -0400, Adam Treat <[email protected]> wrote: > Bill, could you look over these CMake files and give it an informal review? > > On Monday 03 May 2010 02:37:22 pm Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> As some of you know, the EFL port is almost all merged, we just lack a >> build system in SVN by now.
