What do you think very different between configure --enable-X11 cmake -DENABLE_X11 > windows also has its ugly CmakeSetup gui. un*x version of cmake has menu driven UI too did you try ccmake (note the double 'c') <joke> personnally I think the ugliness of GUI app most of time comes from the GUI concept itself :=)) command line is far more powerful. </joke> > > However, neither approach seems to me as clean as what's available under > autotools.

May you precise what functionality you miss, from autotools? (Besides the fact that you have to replace --enable-xxxx with -Dxxxx) -- Erk _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
