Having been around this particular block a couple of times, yes, CMake at times is a battle, but it's also better than the alternative of producing (and maintaining) multiple mutually incompatible and inevitably arbitrarily different build systems in parallel.
The beauty of autoconf/automake on Unix is that it spits out standard MakefileS so that normal users don't have to install a special program just to build the software. I haven't tried Wireshark with CMake yet, but doesn't every user have to install it to build the software? Or can cmake's output be included in source distributions so only developers need it? ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
