 CMake build system and (lib)curl
 | 
						|
 ================================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The CMake build support is experimental.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Every now and then people approach us in the project to add support for
 | 
						|
another build system. This time, several people wanted us to add support for
 | 
						|
CMake. So we did.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Since the introduction, however, there has been little to no maintaining of
 | 
						|
this build concept for curl. You cannot build the same set of combinations
 | 
						|
that you can with the autotools version of the build, and there have already
 | 
						|
been bugs filed against the CMake build system that haven't been addressed -
 | 
						|
due to lack of maintainers.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We keep the files included in release archives and CVS for now in the hope
 | 
						|
that people will appreciate it and help us keep them in shape, and even
 | 
						|
improve them to become on par with the main build system. If not, we might
 | 
						|
remove them again in a future version.
 |
