c++.chat - CMake for DM?

Hi

I have just discovered CMake (http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Index.html)
which is a piece of software which can configure makefiles in a lot of
environments.  I have begun to use it with Red Hat Linux, but also want
to use it in a Windows environment.

For those who don't know it, it will take something like this:

PROJECT(HELLO)
ADD_EXECUTABLE(hello hello.cpp)

and generate a complete set up.  It does more than that of course -
libraries etc. and is billed as "Cross Platform".

Has anyone used it with DM?

Cheers

I have already requested Walter to modify the IDDE to use plain text .opn /
.prj files. It is a must before we hope to make CMake work with DMC.

.prj files are already plain text... A quick look at them will tell you how to
change them with any text editor.
The real pain is the .opn files.

I don't plan to use the IDE, so do I need to worry about .prj and .opn anyway.
CMake can generate a makefile.
