Re: [Adobe-source-devel] CMake support: Work in Progress

[Sean P. <sea...@ma...>]

Hi Robert,

I'd be happy to set you up with a developer account on our perforce  
server. Before accepting a CMake system I'd want to know what  
complexity it adds and what benefits it provides.

Currently we use bjam because it works with boost, and allows us to  
construct and execute unit tests with a fairly simply, unit tests can  
be specified to compile or fail to compile, or run or fail to run. The  
ability to do both positive and negative test cases are important. We  
minimally maintain the IDE projects largely because I prefer to  
develop in an IDE.

If you're willing to maintain a CMake environment and it provides some  
benefit to the community without too much complexity then we can roll  
it in.

Thanks,
Sean
