in this case it is. the issue with vs build files is that no one working on linux would be even able to update them so they're bound to get broken every day. cmake can generate native project files on all platforms - linux, os x (xcode), windows (vs) so in that sense it's the only build system that could reasonably cover all the platforms and is the only build system that could replace everything we have right now. the fact that piglit and our demos already use it make it even easier. the build system to rule them all. unfortunately Jose tried it and the issue was that cmake doesn't support convinenice libraries which mesa uses quite extensively and there was no decent way of making it work without recompiling the same file number of times (not a workable solution from a development point of view). so as it stands scons is the "official" way of building on windows. z _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
