It's hard to reinvent something that is so poorly designed, any more poorly.


You'll be surprised !! - http://www.cmake.org/


cmake is not a makefile reinvention! Like GNU automake, it generates makefiles (or input files for VisualC/XCode). It configures the build for the specific target system, and library versions and locations.


I know that :) But if one thinks Makefiles are complex with ugly syntax, CMake will be a revelation (more complex, uglier syntax)


Yo dawg, I heard you like makefiles, so we made makefiles for your makefiles...
