Building a release tarball is not something most users do, so the number of prerequisites is less important. > Which won't work if I need to fix a bug or add a feature. =C2=A0This is > still Free Software, right? I don't get your meaning. If you need to build, there are a bunch of things you *have* to have installed. You talked about cp and rm (and somehow considered GCC/MinGW a given) but surely free software users also do fix the info files and will need makeinfo, won't they? The point being: I'm not pushing for or against CMake, but at the end of the day, it is just *one* more prerequisite among quite a few. I think you see it as less useful because for you the makefiles wok pretty well, as you said. Personally, I hate having to modify a makefile or a .bat script. Not to mention having to study changes in the Unix build system to determine whether they make sense in the Windows side. =C2=A0 =C2=A0 Juanma
