I disagree. Autotools do not work for Windows with Visual C++, Intel C++, etc. CMake does. The Wt wiki and the docs in the Wt tarball document how to run CMake. If you need further information about CMake, I suggest you take a look at my CMake slides: http://www.elpauer.org/stuff/learning_cmake.pdf > · Reconsider the licensing LGPL vs BSD vs GPL > Something as good as Witty should be under more friendlier licensing than > GPL, Mind you I am a great supporter of open source (real open source, BSD > Style) but a less restrictive license like LGPL will help you a lot take > Witty to a whole new level. > FYI: Licenses will not help you pay your rent, EMWEB services will. I cannot speak for EmWeb but Trolltech lives on licenses only, not services. I'd say licenses do pay the rent. -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
