Hi. If anyone sees this, feel free to review and/or comment the work. Note: this effort is not in any way a critique of the existing Nix build system. This is just an attempt on my part to answer a question. Along the way, in addition to learning a great deal about the tasks required to build and assemble nix products, I learned a lot about autotools as well. In fact, I'm not certain that cmake is so superior in the end, since and choice made during configuration needs to be replicated in the alternate system. More debuggable, perhaps, but even then. Again, I do not have any acute awareness of any shortcomings of the current autotools-based system. Cheers, |
This is an experiment Missing features: - running tests - multi-platform testing (system variable) - finish TODOs in main CMakeLists.txt file Features: - full support for out-of-source build - support for generating documentation (verbatim with autotools) - includes man pages, html, pdf - support for externalization of debuginfo - installs symlinks to debug files during installation Other (changelog) - custom (project-wide) cmake functions for all libraries and executables - hides calls to externalize (debuginfo)
