How about changing the building system?

I know that this has been discussed but I want to know your opinion?

1) Is it necessary for the project?

2) What kind of building system do you prefer and why?

3) Does autotools makes the development process quite booooring?

4) Why do you want (or won't) to change the building system?

THNX for attention and sorry for bad english

I would prefer cmake, cmake is only for linux users but i think that is the only discussable plattform for a change ^^

Cmake is very very easy to handel, only 3 commands needed for an compile.

And it doesnt waste arround with any files like automake.

Lord X-Press you are wrong CMAKE can generate Eclipse, Visual Studio, Borland and even CodeBlocks project files. And it's great for porting OpenSource software to other platforms.

Ok so discussable plattforms for a change are

- scons

- cmake

- qmake

- kdevelop ?

- C0de Blocks ?

as for me...

But I'm interested in your opinion.

cmake not support precompiled headers as i read. we plan add its to mangos build.

+1 for codeblocks...

[eox425]

I prefer CMAKE too

'cuz it is quite simple and can be used in Mangos project

But I want to know people's opinion about other build systems :confused:

g++ by hand!

cmake is awesome if you can get it right (im still learning to get it right)

scons is good if you know python
