Hi, we already have a CMake-based build system for our product and we'd really would like to extend it to also build our dependencies. Right now we build everything manually on each platform, what is a pain. Therefore we're planning to start building curl with cmake instead of separate scripts for each platform. Not ot mention, that one can open a CMake-enabled things as a project or generate project files for a number of IDEs. -- Gruesse, Jakub ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
