Re: [Inkscape-devel] make doing unneeded compilations?

I notice we have cmake as a secondary build system in the tree. Perhaps after 0.91 is done and out the door we should consider migrating fully over to cmake. I've had very good experience with it in other projects and it seems to handle dependencies a lot more sensibly IMHO.

The CMake build system we have in the tree is incomplete, and its scripting language is such a joke that in my experience using CMake is only a modest improvement over Autotools.

I recently made a basic build system using Waf and its LOC was around a tenth of what was required for Automake / CMake. https://code.launchpad.net/~tweenk/inkscape/waf-build
