...t. I'll feel good about it, and if you decide that the best use is throw them away, that's your decision, I'm not going to do anything past answer any questions that occur. My own feeling is that adding in the ability to generate BSD Makefiles from Cmake files is going to tremendously compllicate the ability to fix build problems, things that would be simpler for folks on their (whatever)BSD systems to just add in their own makefiles on their own systems. BSD Make is going to make that easy enough to do, without even having to remove whatever makefiles you place in there. It'd leave th...

CMake is not a build tool, it is a build generator tool. That means that it competes with the GNU autotools, for instance, but not with make, or gmake. CMake generates makefiles (or project files for XCode, Visu...

My feelings are, you generate BSD Makefiles directly, they are NOT that complicated, and making them be generated like that redu...
