Hi, What is the consensus on getting CMake into Sage?
I made a ticket to get CMake into the optional packages list. http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/18078 <http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/18078>, so that CMake can be built from source in Sage and the user does not have to make a system wide installation. I'll work on getting CSymPy(github.com/sympy/csympy) into Sage this summer. CSymPy uses CMake and I'd like a heads up on how to proceed. (If CMake won't get into standard packages list in the future, then we'll have to move to another build system as me and Ondřej would like to get CSymPy into standard packages list) Isuru On Monday, February 9, 2015 at 6:07:40 PM UTC+5:30, Oleksandr Motsak wrote: > > AFAIR we had a preliminary cmake build system for legacy Singular but it > is not yet ported to the current Singular (SW), > whose build system is currently based on autoconf & automake. > > we may do that at some point. > > ps: IMHO following > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5971921/building-a-library-using-autotools-from-cmake > > would make it possible to approach that porting incrementally... > > Regards, > > -- > Oleksandr > > > On Sunday, February 8, 2015 at 2:18:30 PM UTC+1, Jakob Kroeker wrote: >> >> >Anyway, as mentioned before, according to this thread: >> >> > >> http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel/browse_thread/thread/e91a204a2902afd/ccbdaa4792872282?lnk=gst&q=Heads+up#ccbdaa4792872282 >> >singular is migrating to CMake. >> >> For good or bad, Singular did not migrate to CMake.
