[Wylug-announce] Next Meeting: The CMake buildsystem generator (Monday 12 Nov 2007)

[Dave Fisher]

Dear All,

Our next meeting will be on Monday 12 Nov 2007 in Leeds University's
Stoner Building.

The meeting room is sign-posted from the main Stoner Building entrance.

The meeting officially starts at 7.00 pm, but the room will be open for
coffee, tea, biscuits and chat from 6.30 pm. 

Jack Kelly  will be delivering the following talk:

  The CMake buildsystem generator
  -------------------------------

  CMake is a cross-platform build tool like the autotools or SCons. Unlike 
  the autotools (which generate makefiles for the *IXes) or SCons (which 
  calls compilers directly) CMake generates buildsystems for a variety of 
  IDEs (it can still do makefiles, though).
  
  I will be providing an overview of basic CMake usage from both a user's 
  and a developer's viewpoint, comparing and contrasting CMake's behaviour 
  with that of the autotools.


Re: A.N.Other Talk

I offered this month's  second slot to someone (not Tom Hall) at last
month's meeting, but I've forgotten who (too much beer in the Vic,
afterwards?).

If you remember being offered the slot, and you are still interested,
please let me know ASAP.

Dave
