If there is going to be any sort of consolidation effort, it should be to solely maintain a set of CMakefiles. The purpose of CMake is to generate all those different varieties of makefiles, visual studio project files, etc. from a single set of instructions. https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-generators.7.html Now, that won't be possible at the moment with all the limitations of the existing CMake code. https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/master/docs/INSTALL.cmake#L21-L36 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: https://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: https://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
