With such a glowing review as that.. I'm not sure I want to try CMake :) Perhaps it would be better to handle the different platform build methods ourselves. It's the least worst option. It is actively used elsewhere though. We've handled the platform differences in the past by using make and nmake and autofoo and other piles of configuration grief.
Note that "Nmake" in our case is actually "Nmake plus QMake". We could create a ui/qt/Makefile.nmake with the required moc, rcc, uic, and compiler commands but the effort would probably be better spent on bringing the CMake configuration to 100% completion. I'll send a separate email about that shortly. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
