Addition of a build system generator

Addition of a build system generator

Closed this issue 7 years ago · 5 comments

I suggest to reuse a higher level build system than your current small make file so that powerful checks for software features will become easier.

I have thought of this but I've let it be as-is for now. CMake can be amazing, I agree completely. I just don't have any experience about it.

In the future I will surely create a more sophisticated way of building the project with the help of cmake. Some evening, when I have the interest and spare time to do so.

Could be nice to use in the future, for better multi OS support, but the Makefile isn't that clustered yet, so I don't see any benefit at the moment either.

Does a tool like "autoscan" show any software dependencies that you find worth for further considerations?
How do you think about to support more development environments by the reuse of build system generators?

I haven't had time to try out autoscan yet, sorry. I will though.

Anyways, old Makefile is now gone and CMakeLists.txt is the only way to generate a build environment. It seems to work fine on Windows 10 and Debian testing x64 but since it's the first CMakeLists.txt I have ever created it may need some refining.

Thanks for your improvements around the CMake build script.
