@vog: Though I believe that CMake might be trying to replace autotools I don't believe they are close to that kind of complexity or power.

Which is fine in its own right. But it is not any better/worse than make it is just a different tool. Personally I would say it has a lot less features and thus a less powerful tool and thus I usually use make. But I have a big generic makefile of the rules I want already defined so my make files are now only a couple of lines long. github.com/Loki-Astari/ThorsSerializer/blob/master/Json/… | |
