Subj : MakeNL & CMake ?

Hi All!

  I'm involved with a number of projects that are and/or need to be 
cross-platform and I've been looking into build systems that could be used to 
upgrade/improve them that is usable on as many systems as possible. (Autotools 
is not very cross platform...<g>)  CMake is available for use on any system 
for which there is a C++ compiler, and creates "native build environment" for 
the system it is running on; I.E., makefiles for a Linux system, or MSVC 
project/workspaces, etc. (And can also be set up to do cross compiles, which 
will be useful for me...)  Besides CTest mentioned below, it also includes 
CPack which can be used to create install archives; include windows 
installers.

  I'll be investigating it in any case, and I will look into using it for 
MakeNL if no one else does.

   A start has been made for that, at least, but there is still an issue of 
what to use for a test framework that would be usable on all systems. 
Something I'll be lookingt at is CTest, which is testing framework included 
with CMake.
