Hi guys,

We did some testing with autoconf / automake on Windows. Makefiles are getting 
generated correctly although we cannot obviously verify the result with a full 
build since we didn’t port all the patches to the master branch yet.
There’s anyway a huge limitation: it does not generate a Visual Studio solution 
and related projects, which means that it’s basically useless for any practical 
development purpose.

Does anybody know a way around this? If not, IMO there are two available 
options:

1) Move the build system to CMake like we already did for 1.9 (I can already 
hear the "boohs" :-))
2) Generate the Visual Studio solution and projects files and keep them up to 
date with the Autoconf counterpart.

I’m personally fine even with the second option given the absence of impact on 
the rest of the project, although mantaining two build systems adds some 
overhead.

Does anybody have other ideas?


Thanks,

Alessandro
