[Jsoncpp-devel] Patch adding CMakeFiles: cross-compilation & integration in CMake project

[Damien B. <dam...@le...>]

Hello dear json_cpp developers,

I worked recently with json-rpc-cpp based on json_cpp and I wrote 
CMakeFile support for both. I wanted to provide my small contribution to 
this nice library by sending you this patch.

I was wondering if it could be integrated in the mainline or if you want 
to keep it as a patch aside, but I have the feeling that it should be 
mainline, because CMake is really one of the best choice for cross 
compilation and recompilation on any platform. It has an advantage over 
scons in the fact that cross compilation is generically and uniformly 
supported. This makes any CMake project cross compilable seamlessly for 
any platform without any specificf platform configuration in the 
makefile other than a cross cmake toolchain file provided by the user or 
by the toolchain itself.

However I don't think it shoud replace scons, because certainly many 
project have based their integration of your project with it. I just 
think it could come additionally to ease building and integration for 
CMake based projects. Especially for embedded and multiplatform projects 
I think (e.g. I use it in a ptxdist and a yocto project for cross 
compiling for ARM Cortex A8, PPC, Windows 7 and Linux i386, this is for 
building automation softwares and devices).

I added the patch on sourcefore at this address :
