I was answering your argument about autotools portability to Windows
in advance :-P
Still, I don't get what you mean. I successfully use autotools for
building a MinGW version of LyX without any fuss.
Are you playing with words? I know that; and you can even make autotools to use
the MSVC compiler FWIW... But you have to install a lot of things before this
can be possible.
But please try to understand that that's not what typical Windows or Mac
developers are used to do.
Do you talk about development and/or debugging only or do think about package
making too?
That too yes.
I don't know how to create a Mac-Application-Bundle with CMake.
The XCode-project made by CMake isn't able to create an application, AFAIK.
So I'm using CMake to create the XCode-project and doing the automake build
regularly
to create the .app bundle. And the latter is what users on Mac need.
So I'd say currently CMake is useful but without it I'm able to work.
Without automake currently we have nothing to distribute.
So we have to work on it... and I am confident that it is possible to
achieve that. I hope I can find the time to explore this soon.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could generate the .app bundle right from
within XCode?
