I'm quite jaded about keeping CMakeLists.txt "simple." As far as I'm
concerned, it should be as simple as the level of complication of your
build. If I want encapsulation, I write a macro. Otherwise I'll just
write straight CMake script, because I'd rather read CMake script than
the docs of 5 different Unixy tools that all do their own kind of
regular expression processing.
I second this.
We have a pretty big project and installer generation framework using
CMake technology and it is very valuable to learn and master CMake
scripting for a long-terme development.
If everything is done with CMake you get more consistency and an easy
and natural way to get access to your framework variables.
Here is my advice:
First think about how to do it the CMake way,then if it's not doable
(which is pretty rare) do it with some other language.
"man cmake" is your best friend ;-)
