CMake - cross-platform build systemA few minutes ago, Bill Hoffman from Kitware posted short message to the CMake project mailing list with an interesting announce:

Kitware launched its first developer blog today with contributions from Company technical and business leaders.

The CMake build system is one of the main category of topics on the Kitware blog, so I presume it may be of interest of OSGeo Community as the CMake build system is slowly winning over more and more folks here :-)

First CMake-related post is about Deploying on Windows with DLL Manifest Issue

Another interesting post on the blog is Will Schroeder’s answer to the question Why Open Source Will Rule Scientific Computing? It’s really worth reading.
