Sure, a simple project works great with any of several build strategies, so of course not everyone will be thrilled by switching. But if CMake only lacks the "I got burned by #!@%*& CMake" contingent, it's already ahead of the competition.

LCA: Disintermediating distributions Posted Feb 7, 2008 21:28 UTC (Thu) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] YES! (Time to upgrade. Is my cmake really that old? ... 2.4.1. dammit.)
LCA: Disintermediating distributions Posted Feb 7, 2008 22:10 UTC (Thu) by aleXXX (subscriber, #2742) [Link] 2.4.1 was a beta version, a lots of bugs were fixed for 2.4.3. Version 2.4.8 has been released a few weeks ago, I recommend you use this. If there is no package for your distro, just download the binary package from www.cmake.org and just unpack it in some place you like, it will work. Alex
LCA: Disintermediating distributions Posted Feb 7, 2008 23:19 UTC (Thu) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] Yeah, like I said, it was really stupid of me not to upgrade. In fact I've *got* a more recent version installed: it's just this bloody old version in /usr/local/bin was hiding it... *sigh* chkdupexe time, I think.
