Video lecture about CMake

Bill Hoffman from Kitware gives presentation about CMake and a pack of related tools to the happiest easygoing working nation on the Earth:

It’s worth to watch if interested in CMake.

Testing libLAS with CMake

libLAS - ASPRS LiDAR data translation toolset As a part of CMake configuration for libLAS, I’ve enabled support CTest. It is CMake test driver program that can be used to run automated tests and perform continuous integration. I also registered libLAS at CDash testing server.

CDash aggregates, analyzes and displays the results of software testing processes submitted from clients located around the world

Check libLAS dedicated quality dashboard registration is required it is public project and available for anonymous visitors to browse the dashboard (thanks to Julien from Kitware for quick fix).

Anyone who is would like to build libLAS using CMake and run tests can find details on the CMake article on the Wiki. I would also encourage interested users to issue make Continuous to submit test results to the dashboard.

Feedback kindly wanted!

QGIS tracks on BoostCon’09

In one of presentations from this year’s edition of BoostCon, I found a small track of Quantum GIS project. This is Bill Hoffman‘s presentation titled A CMake-Based Software Process for Development and Integration Testing (PDF) and the track is citation taken from Martin Dobias’ blog post Having fun with CMake:

I was quite surprised with the speed of building Quantum GIS codebase in comparison to Autotools.

All presentations from the BoostCon’09 are available to download including Barend‘s slides and article with about Generic Geometry Library. There are much more interesting materials from the conference available and as another one somehow related to geospatial works, I’d like to point Graphics Programming Workshop about programming with Adobe’s Graphics Interface Library which is a part of Boost C++ Libraries (>= 1.35.0). There are both, slides and source codes, available to download.
