tinc devel - Oct 2016 - Will tinc use cmake in the future?

Hi All,

Will tinc use cmake in the future? auto tools is really hard to port
to other platform like windows phone.

Tks.

I don't know. At the moment, I'm quite happy with autotools; it works
very well on all the platforms tinc currently supports (Linux, *BSD,
Windows, Mac OS/X, Android), does cross-compiling very well, comes with
a test harness.

However, if it is not possible to compile for Windows Phone using
autotools, then I might allow CMake files just for building for Windows
Phone. I'd only consider replacing autotools with CMake if it is a
complete replacement for all the features from autotools that we're
currently using. Also, it should not only work for developers, but also
for users that just want to download a tarball and compile tinc on their
platform of choice.

I can't find a tinc work for no root android, so I try to port it to
android by the right way. Auto tools does not integrate well with
android studio ( cmake not too, but will work well in the future
release)!
