That does not work. If you don't believe it, look at the outdated project files in development/Win32. If the build system is to be switched it should make things simpler, not harder. Why add cmake at all if we still have to maintain the auto stuff? If it would be as simple as maintaining a list of source files we would not discuss a switch. The problems are elsewehere. Georg
