Support for major buildsystems
Supported:
- make, MSVC, XCode, Eclipse, KDevelop3, CodeBlocks
Missing:
- Some generic file format, maybe XML based, so that it would be easy to process. Maybe ant may be a good candidate. This might also help the Java support in CMake. Any takers ?
Support for programming languages
Fully supported:
- C, C++
- Fortran (CMake >= 2.6.0)
- Watch out for mix of free-form / fixed form src code (1)
More or less fully supported:
- Java: there may be some issues relating to Java packages and subdirectories
- Assembler: CMake >= 2.6.0, but needs more testing and feedback
- Objective C: works if the compiler (gcc) knows how to handle these files
- Ada: not yet in cvs, but support exists (in PlPlot): http://plplot.cvs.sourceforge.net/plplot/plplot/cmake/modules/
- D: not in cvs, but support exists: http://www.dsource.org/projects/cmaked
Not supported:
The languages listed here don't have built-in support in CMake, still they can be used via ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND()
- C#: would be nice to have
- Pascal: shouldn't be too hard, volunteers ?
- OCaml: really strange to build, may be hard to integrate
Operating systems
Supported:
- all major OSs, except the ones listed below
Not supported:
- OS/2 (not offically supported, but builds are available from http://os2ports.smedley.info), DOS, DJGPP
CMake language features
- some way to define custom command line arguments
- fine grained flags (per source etc.), AFAIK is being worked on
- per-target or per-file include dirs and compile flags (being worked on AFAIK)
- better (PCRE) regexps, is being worked on
- abstraction of compiler flags (being worked on ?)
