| CMake build system and (lib)curl |
| ================================ |
| |
| The CMake build support is experimental. |
| |
| Every now and then people approach us in the project to add support for |
| another build system. This time, several people wanted us to add support for |
| CMake. So we did. |
| |
| Since the introduction, however, there has been little to no maintaining of |
| this build concept for curl. You cannot build the same set of combinations |
| that you can with the autotools version of the build, and there have already |
| been bugs filed against the CMake build system that haven't been addressed - |
| due to lack of maintainers. |
| |
| We keep the files included in release archives and CVS for now in the hope |
| that people will appreciate it and help us keep them in shape, and even |
| improve them to become on par with the main build system. If not, we might |
| remove them again in a future version. |
