CMake:OpenTasks

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)

More or less fully supported:

• Java: there may be some issues relating to Java packages and subdirectories
• [CMake/Assembler | Assembler]: CMake >= 2.6.0, but needs more testing and feedback
• Objective C: may work if the compiler (gcc) knows how to handle these files
• Ada: not yet in cvs, but support exists (in PlPlot)
• 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:

• VMS, OS/2, 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 ?)
