Wow, this is fantastic! I just moved to CMake for my cross-platform build scripts, and knowing that your script exists will make it much easier for me to integrate UnitTest++! Thank you for this! As for people worried that CMake will somehow takeover, it can stand side-by-side with the other build scripts. Also, CMake can be used to create MSVS solutions, as I understand it, but I've only been exploring this tool in the last couple of days on the Linux-based end. -- GBGames' Blog, An Indie Game Developer's Somewhat Interesting Thoughts: http://www.gbgames.com/blog Follow me on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/GBGames ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ unittest-cpp-devel mailing list unittest-cpp-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/unittest-cpp-devel
