I hope there will be only CMake in near future (imply
remove
autotools). As I know cmake aka build systems working
for all
platforms. What about remove building part of
autotools, use
cmake for
that and use autotools for other tasks?
It may work but last I checked it didn't work too well:
there's a
bunch of stuff that works when running from an autotools build
directory that doesn't from a cmake directory. And it doesn't
appear many people have been working on that.
Maybe that should be enumerated somewhere. I've only built (off
Windows) on Ubuntu using CMake and it worked for me. On Windows
there
are a few bits left to finish off, but I think the nmake usage
is coming
to an end.
It generally works it's just missing features. A bunch are
documented in README.cmake but not all. For example I think Evan
found that the test suite--at least the Lua portion--don't work in
cmake builds; I fixed that in autotools (starting with
https://code.wireshark.org/__review/3348
<https://code.wireshark.org/review/3348>) but I don't think anyone
has touched the cmake part (I gave up even thinking about cmake a
while ago).
Must
force
change

Jeff's

CMake
I'l be sending the vibes over later :-)
How about a cmake book--oh, and the time and inclination to read it (the
docs and answers I found online didn't help me a lot)? Ah, I guess the
inclination part may be the real problem now--so maybe the vibes /would/
help. ;-)
