<div dir="auto">What are your needs for using the CMake toolchain? It is strictly inferior to the autotools system with the exception of supporting Python and Perl more robustly. But I never was able to get it handling all of the Unicode tests perfectly, and even I don't use it anymore for the places where I maintain Sword builds. The two initial reasons for putting it together were MinGW support which was superior at that time in CMake than autotools (this is no longer the case) and the Python/Perl bindings. But even those I would likely move over to autotools at this point when the need for an update appears.<div dir="auto"><br><div dir="auto">--Greg</div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Aug 18, 2025, 4:25 AM ZdPo Ster <<a href="mailto:zdposter@gmail.com">zdposter@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div>Any idea when cmake build will be fixed & improved?<br></div><div>Recent svn version can not be built with cmake.
