Hello,

Why again did we choose for a= utotools as future build system instead of cmake?

- CMake generates = native build scripts for Make (all platforms), XCode, Visual Studio. Autoco= nf only does Make.

- CMake has a clearer syntax, m4/autotools is very convoluted

- CMake is very fast

- CMake is supported natively in Qt Creator= in the QT SDK, and is used by many other KDE/QT as well as other open sour= ce applications. Many people discourage the use of autotools for new projec= ts.

A CMake build system for bitcoin is already integrated into rpcminer, a= vailable here:
