Hello,
Why again did we choose for autotools as future build system instead of
cmake?
- CMake generates native build scripts for Make (all platforms), XCode,
Visual Studio. Autoconf 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 source applications. Many people
discourage the use of autotools for new projects.
A CMake build system for bitcoin is already integrated into rpcminer,
available here:
