Hi Olof, Shlomi,
autotools builds are the official recommendation for 0.91. CMake still needs some work, and doesn't fully support all options.
Are the options that CMake does not support yet listed somewhere?
I think the consensus at present is that supporting two build systems is unsustainable and we intend to do the following:
- Fix CMake builds for the next release, make this the official build
system and deprecate the autotools builds. 2. Remove the autotools builds in the following release
So far so good.
- Potentially move to the Waf build system in the following release
If Waf is considered to be better for us than CMake, why bother with CMake at all and not move directly to Waf?
Any feedback on your experience with CMake would be greatly appreciated!
Well, I had a mostly positive experience in building various open-source projects using CMake and with using it for my own open-source projects. With Inkscape, I often had to fix parts of the CMake-based build system myself, and submitted patches for it.
