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. + +Daniel, November 2009 just before the 7.19.7 release |
