Hi,
I hope I have not been so rude. I am ready to use cmake. I had just some
questions about it.
It is true that autotools are a mess...
Best regards,
Jean

Hi,
Of course, every contribution is welcome. But you may have asked to
other developpers before commiting you changes, because it brings a lot
of changes to the project.
Could you assure that the following features will get on generated with
cmake:
- dist target: make a .tar.gz of the project. Mandatory when releasing.
There is another program shipped with CMake called CPack.
It is possible to create tarballs with it. I don't know exactly how it works,
but I'll find it out in the next days. ;)
- install target which accept a DESTDIR option to install in a chroot
environnement (for packaging).
make DESTIR=/foobar is already supported by CMake.
(DESTDIR is prepended to install-prefix at installation)
- configure options like : data path, font path, bin path, etc.
These options are used by all maintainers . Personnally, I maintain
Debian packages and the system is aware of autotools but not cmake (AFAIK).
The success of the game comes from it is maintained on a large panel of
distributions. If the 0.8 release is just available as a tar.gz, this
will be a great issue.
At the moment there are just options for selecting a prefix and a build-type
(e.g. Release, Debug)
I'll add some options for further selecting data-, font-, bin-path.
I don't mean Cmake is not useful, but it implies big changes. Can you
remove your patch and wait for some days for developpers (and mainly
maintainers) to give their opinion ? You have already one ;-)
Maybe you can create a temporary branch to test the cmake system ?
Best regards,
Jean
