I'll throw in my $0.02 too... If the current build system were replaced, I'd like to not lose one specific feature: fully parallel builds. At present, given the "single Makefile in src/", I can actually use all 4 CPUs to do compiles, etc. I don't want to regress to having a separate Makefile in every subdirectory. :)
Great, thanks informing me so I can check this out. If you remember I'm pretty unfamiliar with build systems. I have no idea what you are talking about. Can I get a link or a more detailed explaination?
One thing to note, CMake still uses make. It is a Makefile generator (also generates build process files for various other tools). So I would assume anything you can do with make is easily supported. But it doesn't hurt to check it out.
Please keep the requirement's coming!
