Autoconf only does Make.&#xA;&#xA;- CMake has a clearer syntax, m4/autotools is very convoluted&#xA;&#xA;- CMake is very fast&#xA;&#xA;- CMake is supported natively in Qt Creator in the QT SDK, and is used by&#xA;many other KDE/QT as well as other open source applications. Many people&#xA;discourage the use of autotools for new projects.&#xA;&#xA;A CMake build system for bitcoin is already integrated into rpcminer,&#xA;available here:&#xA;&#xA;http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/w/puddinpop-bitcoin-pool.git/tree&#xA;&#xA;JS&#xA;-------------- next part --------------&#xA;An HTML attachment was scrubbed...&#xA;URL: &lt;http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20110702/71e0983d/attachment.html&gt;</html></oembed>
