[Cmake] Cmake, a deployment question...

[Nick Ton]

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the response. Two follow-on questions then.
1. If the deployed system is guaranteed to have the same:
directory structure, os, and compiler - could I deploy
using the generated Makefiles?

2. If the deployed system is not guaranteed to have the same
directory structure, and compiler, but has the same os -
could the end-user modify the generated Makefiles to their
system?

Nick

The Makefile cmake generates does depend on cmake.
It is required to keep the dependency information up-to-date.
Also, the makefiles are configured for a particular system, and
can not reliably be moved from machine to machine.  So, you really
can not use cmake in that fashion.
