Topic: CMake build system (Read 1489 times)
I thought we were going with autotools from jgarzik?
I just tried to test on the Mac (commenting out the GUI building part of the code), and I get the following error:
Code:

I've merged the CMake changes from https://bitbucket.org/dkaparis/bitcoin-cmake/overview and https://bitbucket.org/hsoft/bitcoin-clean I've tested it on Ubuntu Lucid. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/56
Great! I'd like to see this good work make it back into mainline bitcoin; please talk with the other improve-the-build-process efforts and submit some patches.
I think there are a few CMake build files for bitcoin already in existence. For instance, there's one I put together, which you can find in the source package here.
I've put together the required CMake rules to allow bitcoin to be built using CMake. The branch is posted on github at https://github.com/tfoote/bitcoin/tree/cmake_devel
CMake is a very powerful tool and it makes developing across multiple platforms easier. http://www.cmake.org/ It's also more flexible for finding non standard libraries such as the ones bitcoin currently requires.
I've only been able to test this on Lucid 64 machines. I'll try to test on more platforms. However right now it's not clear what platforms are expected to work. If anyone can test it that would be great. And if you have any feedback or suggestions that'd be great too.
