[Quickfix-developers] RFC-RFI:cmake support

[Claudio B. <roc...@gm...>]

I'm working on cmake build scripts for quickfix on a git repo @ github.
I am using qf for some internal projects where I work and cmake makes
it possible to easily integrate with our build scripts.
Is there interest in this feature around here? If so, I'll try to keep
the diffs between my branch and the official one minimal and will
submit patches for inclusion in mainline.

Info on cmake: http://www.cmake.org
Cmake is a cross platform build system written in C++. It sports its
own easily readable language tailored for the job, can be easily
customised to do just about anything that needs to be done to build
software, including system checks a-la autotools.

cmake comes with a gazillion of Find scripts out of the box and many
can be added by simply googling around. Most scripts come with BSD
licenses so they can be freely modified and included. Cmake can bring
the autotools goodness to many platforms and can generate project
files for visual studio, eclipse, xcode. It is directly supported by
many ide's including qt creator and kdevelop. It can generate
makefiles for many unix flavors including linux, bsd, aix and hp-ux.
The full list of supported systems is available at the cmake web page.
