Vladislav Vaintroub: Building MySQL Server with CMake on Linux/Unix

Jay, one of the greatest (from my point of view) features in CMake is that it does not divide OSes into good (Posix) and bad (non-Posix). Cmake is knowlegdable about Visual Studio and Xcode, it is aware of Win32 executables or console applications about OSX bundles or frameworks, it understands that not every compiler will export all symbols from shared libraries and so on. Given Drizzle project members' background and POSIX-affinity I find it understandable you chose autotools. Nothing wrong with it, if it works for you and other projects, and saves you from having to learn alternatives, it is great.

Hi Lenz! "Out-of-source builds – CMake can separate the build directory from the source directory. This is convenient, as your working source tree is not cluttered with object files and other fragments of the build process." autotools can do this just fine. Just cd /build && ../configure. ("build" can be any directory of course...) Drizzle's pandora build system is built on autotools and has none of the general turdness of MySQL's autotools hackery and mangling. It works great for us and a number of other projects (gearman, libmemcached, libdrizzle, etc). I think the trick is getting someone to spend the time to actually learn autotools properly... But, these above projects don't have to deal with Windows, where it seems everything has to be different for the sake of being different -jay p.s. sorry for being snarky

Alas, the community is never satisfied. Now I am having trouble keeping up with all of the good changes.

Hi Jonas, thanks for the hint! I will add them right away. I just looked at the announce@ mailing list archive for these - maybe you should make it a habit to post your release update announcements there, too
