I did not try, but my first answer would be that there is no need to produce a specific tarball with cmake since there is no more ./configure and everything is handled through cmake. So the tar ball can be produced directly with tar.
This will surely break the packaging process for distributions like e.g. debian where the building scripts have been adapted to the autotools way of building LyX, but this should not be a big problem - I guess LyX is not the first package shipped with cmake only building. benjamin On 30 Apr 2014 at 17:01:22 , Pavel Sanda (sa...@lyx.org) wrote: Benjamin Piwowarski wrote: > what is missing in the current cmake system. Is the tarball created by cmake (reasonably) identical to tarball created by autotools? Pavel
