Hi all, we are working on a port of our old, handcrafted build system for OPAL (http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~opal/opal-language.html) to cmake.
The Opal compiler produces C-Code, so in theory bootstrapping that beast on any machine should be easy as long as the C-code is shipped in a distribution tarball (make will detect it is already present and not run the non-existing compiler). After deflating that distribution tarball, we re-invoke a configure script on the build tree (to get host characteristics like integer sizes) and then simply make it. When switching to cmake we would not have a configure script and the c-sources would live in the build directory. So how can we create such a distribution tarball? Is there anything in the cmake universe that could help us, or do we have to write a cmake script for that task? best regards, Christoph -- Christoph Höger Technische Universität Berlin Fakultät IV - Elektrotechnik und Informatik Übersetzerbau und Programmiersprachen Sekr.
