Hi all,

 

There was a mail about 4 years ago (in 2006) with patch adding support for 
CMake build system to liveMedia, but there was no any reaction.

Are there any ideological objections against CMake?

 

The main advantage (for me :) ) of using CMake for liveMedia is excellent 
windows support. With same (as on linux/unix) files you can generate build 
system for vast set of compilers (from VC6 to VC10 and non-MS ones). Also, it 
easily allows you to build both static and dynamic libraries (by switching 
single option in GUI), which makes much easier to meet LGPL licensing 
requirements. Because it is C++ library, it should be built with the same 
compiler options as the rest of the software. (Although dynamic libraries 
requires some modifications in code to export necessary symbols).

 

If you are worried about extra dependencies, cmake doesn't require anything 
else to work, and perfectly fits into download-unpack-run scenario (on Linux, 
its included into many distros).

 

Regards,

Yuri
