I think something was lost in transit on this point. I don’t think it would be
a PITA to write a CMake buildsystem for Qt. I recall the above point was in
reference to ‘compiling host tools and using them in the build while cross
compiling’. The way CMake makes that possible currently(!) is implemented
separately to the core of CMake with the ExternalProject module.
You're right; I remember now that this was referring what you describe
above, not the porting work in general. I actually found another quote
from you in my notes saying "I'm not sure CMake would require a lot of
effort for either CMake or Qt itself". Clearly, I need to work on my
stenography...
Thanks for the clarification!
