developer (#13) - alternitives to cmake (#62) - Message List
Is there any strong reason why cmake is being used for this project? If i were to provide ./configure and GNUmakefiles would the project accept them and move away from cmake ?

Well, if you will provide configure and make scripts, we will consider it.
Why don't you like cmake?

Well cmake does not have an real ability to detect if specific libraries/include files exist, as well as where they exist. Not to mention most people are far more familier working with configure/make than cmake.

Well, both configure/make and cmake have som pros and cons...
You can send me your configure and make scripts - anton < at > orkney . co . jp

Seems to me the cmake system is completely disfunctional. Tried it on slackware 12.0. Failed to find the postgres.h in some subdirectories no matter how many flags I used. Finished up editiing each bit by hand. Compiled but still doesn't work: I'm new to this so not surprising, though the 1.0.0b was a much easier task.

What (and how) exactly doesn't work after compilation?
If you guys really don't like cmake, we can replace it with configure/make scripts (or make both ways possible). We just don't have enough time to write them, so any contribution is welcomed.

During build can't find headers, after build can't locate libraries. I might be ignorant but it isn't even obvious how you are supposed to install it with this thing.Think it was the "extras" having trouble. In some places the includes would be properly set, in others they wouldn't. I gave up & went back to the beta release which seems to be working for me, though the documentation is confusing with the changes occuring. eg. are the wrapper scripts supposed to be loaded? .. they crash. Build scripts aren't my area: disappointing though since unless it becomes more useable I won't have time even to try the upgrade in the near future.
