Alright, but now I'm curious as to why you decided against it.
Could please elaborate on it a bit ?
OMPI has a long, deep history with the GNU Autotools. It's a very
long, complicated story, but the high points are:
1. The GNU Autotools community has given us very good support over the
years.
2. The GNU Autotools support all compilers that we want to support,
including shared library support (others did not, back in 2004 when we
started OMPI).
3. The GNU Autotools can fully bootstrap a tarball such that the end
user does not need to have the GNU Autotools installed to build an
OMPI tarball.
I have doubt about #3 too, but :
#1 should not be a problem for the amount of projects already using cmake;
#2 too, as gromacs [ http://gromacs.org/ ] has been using cmake since
the 4.6 series, and it has tons of options for compilers, math
libraries, cuda, opencl ...
