Hi Mahdi,<br>
:) You're welcome. Uninstallation will come soon (as soon as a can
spend about 5 minutes on it!). You can find the instructions for
ZigoratAssistant somewhere on cmake wikis I think! (BTW, in brief: you
can find the list of installed files in a file called something like:
install-manifest.txt. Removing all of the listes files is the
uninstallation. You can run: "xargs rm < install-manifest.txt" to
uninstall. But I'll add "make uninstall" soon.)<br>
<br>
Have fun,<br>

<br>
Thanks a lot! Now our simulator has a very good multi platform build
system. But there is one part of the build system, which currently not
exists, the uninstallation part. I know that cmake does not support
installation as a main build system feature as making and installation,
cause I am porting ZigoratAssistant's build system to cmake too. But,
this is a part which I think can not be left undone. Do you think you
can manage to provide the feature?<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help ;)<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Mahdi<br>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">Hi again!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">I've almost
finished
adding CMake support to our projects in SVN. It needs testing on
systems with different configurations, but the needed changes would not
be much. So, it seems that removing autotools support will not hurt the
project itself. </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">First, from now on
please consider CMake as the primary build system, and use it instead
of auto-tools yourselves, and report any problems you have (and
possibly fix them). </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">Second, sooner or
later
we are going to drop auto-tools support. I think there are 2 reasonable
options (you can add new ones though): 1. removing autotools support
now (before releasing a new version) or 2. maintaining autotools
support until the next release of the simulator and dropping the
support after that. </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">I'm still not sure
if
the second option have any advantages. Please let us know what you
think about it.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">Finally, it would
be
nice if you can test our CMake build system on Mac OSX and Windows,
and help us to improve our CMake support so the we can use cmake for
all platforms and not using any other build systems for that purpose
(like VS project files).</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">Also, CPack (a part
of
cmake suit) supports generating installers for those systems (on
Windows, it support NSIS installer). It'll enable us to create binary
installers easily. I'll try to improve our support for those systems,
but it needs testing specially on Mac OSX as I'm not much familiar with
it and I don't have access to one of those. (It seems that CPack
supports creating RPMs and DEBs too, but I've not investigated them
yet.)<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">Thanks for your
support,</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">Hedayat<br>
