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

[Peter K. <syn...@gm...>]

Hi Sean,

boost now also ships with cmake files. At the moment it is not
officially supported, but it is nearly a complete bjam replacement.
And it is in discussion if cmake will replace bjam.

cmake is not a build system it generates native build files,
and it includes the configure step.

Under Windows it supports:
(output when cmake is called without any argument:)

 Borland Makefiles           = Generates Borland makefiles.
 MSYS Makefiles              = Generates MSYS makefiles.
 MinGW Makefiles             = Generates a make file for use with
                               mingw32-make.
 NMake Makefiles             = Generates NMake makefiles.
 Unix Makefiles              = Generates standard UNIX makefiles.
 Visual Studio 6             = Generates Visual Studio 6 project files.
 Visual Studio 7             = Generates Visual Studio .NET 2002 project
                               files.
 Visual Studio 7 .NET 2003   = Generates Visual Studio .NET 2003 project
                               files.
 Visual Studio 8 2005        = Generates Visual Studio .NET 2005 project
                               files.
 Visual Studio 8 2005 Win64  = Generates Visual Studio .NET 2005 Win64
                               project files.
 Visual Studio 9 2008        = Generates Visual Studio 9 2008 project files.
 Visual Studio 9 2008 Win64  = Generates Visual Studio 9 2008 Win64 project
                               files.
 Watcom WMake                = Generates Watcom WMake makefiles.
 CodeBlocks - MinGW Makefiles= Generates CodeBlocks project files.
 CodeBlocks - Unix Makefiles = Generates CodeBlocks project files.
 Eclipse CDT4 - MinGW Makefiles
                             = Generates Eclipse CDT 4.0 project files.
 Eclipse CDT4 - NMake Makefiles
                             = Generates Eclipse CDT 4.0 project files.
 Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles
                             = Generates Eclipse CDT 4.0 project files.



On Linux cmake could generate build files for:

  Unix Makefiles              = Generates standard UNIX makefiles.
  CodeBlocks - Unix Makefiles = Generates CodeBlocks project files.
  Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles
                              = Generates Eclipse CDT 4.0 project files.
  KDevelop3                   = Generates KDevelop 3 project files.
  KDevelop3 - Unix Makefiles  = Generates KDevelop 3 project files.


Under OSX cmake supports at least Xcode and plain makefiles.

And on all systems QtCreator could use the cmake files.
