in thread OT Sick of make, is there a replacement?
cmake is both much more and somewhat less than a make replacement
My only experience with cmake is as a *precursor* to make. Whenever I run cmake (eg to build freeglut or plplot libraries), it generates one or more makefiles and the very next command I run is 'make'.
I therefore see cmake as an alternative to autotools, not as an alternative to make.
Cheers,
Rob
