Anyone know of some fast or easy ways to convert projects using cmake or GNU autoconf to other build formats. I remember redo was mentioned on this list and looks really promising. Currently, I try to use some form of make without cmake or configure whenever possible. Typically it takes me a few days to convert someone else's FLOSS library or program to build without cmake or autoconf. Was wondering if there was a faster way. I've read that cmake can be used to generate makefiles, but when I try, they seem to only run if cmake is present and can perform certain commands during the make process. Is there a way to generate basic makefiles that don't use cmake from cmake scripts? Are there any automated tools or easy methods for converting these types of scripts? Thanks.
By the way, I've converted some software to use other build tools besides cmake and autoconf by hand. If anyone else is doing this sort of thing and wants to share build scripts, let me know.
