I'm experimenting with that option now - autotools requires other
steps to be run before producing a configure file, but it looks like
the traditional way of stringing the commands together with && is
working, as long as the OS in question lets me get away with it.
I expected to have to do an IF(WIN32) ELSE conditionalization of the
ExternalProject - after all, common build system logic between $WORLD
and Windows is the primary reason I'm trying out CMake. The goal is
to not require cygwin or msys - we can build BRL-CAD currently on
Windows without them, but have to maintain an entire separate msvc
build system to do so. I might be prepared (if it becomes do-or-die
for a true cross platform build) to write CMake files for Tcl and Tk,
but past experiences make me doubtful that they would interest the
Tcl/Tk community.
Cheers,
CY
