CMake status?
Hi everyone,
Just wondering, what is the official status of CMake support in Qpid?
It seems to me (I know very little about CMake) that the existing
SWIG-based bindings are not being built by CMake, despite the presence
of CMakeList.txt files... is this just because they're still a work in
progress, or because I'm a CMake n00b? ;)
PS - I'm not bothering to report the actual CMake issues I'm seeing,
since this is no CMake support group... just tell me if it's supposed
to work, and if so, I'll figure it out ;)
Thanks,
Paul.

Ah, I see... that explains what I'm seeing :)
Thanks,

The current status of CMake is that it is incomplete. It doesn't do packaging,
it doesn't build some parts of the system like cluster, swig and probably
others. It does what the windows project needs it to do, and beyond that nothing
is guaranteed. At some point we need to bring cmake up to speed and _delete_ the
automake system so people cannot continue to extend it and are forced to fix any
remaining issues in cmake. I don't think anyone has had the time or the
willpower to take that on to date, and the job keeps getting bigger (I'm as
guilty as anyone of extending automake and forgetting cmake.)

They are a work in progress. Cmake does a much nicer job of building
Swig-based bindings than does automake. I built the Cmake script for
the bindings/qpid subdirectory. I (or somebody else) needs to do the
same for the other bindings.
