Thank you for the feedback. I was hesitant to switch to cmake myself. However, after using it and noticing how it can speed up development time (compile and install iterations are much faster) I am a convert.
configure —help is still a great feature in autotools. I haven’t tried cmake-gui myself yet, I use the command line all the time, so I use ccmake, which works well.
