Autoconf only does Make.\n\n- CMake has a clearer syntax, m4/autotools is very convoluted\n\n- CMake is very fast\n\n- CMake is supported natively in Qt Creator in the QT SDK, and is used by\nmany other KDE/QT as well as other open source applications. Many people\ndiscourage the use of autotools for new projects.\n\nA CMake build system for bitcoin is already integrated into rpcminer,\navailable here:\n\nhttp://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/w/puddinpop-bitcoin-pool.git/tree\n\nJS\n-------------- next part --------------\nAn HTML attachment was scrubbed...\nURL: \u003chttp://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20110702/71e0983d/attachment.html\u003e"}
