I hope there will be only CMake in near future (imply remove
autotools). As I know cmake aka build systems working for all
platforms. What about remove building part of autotools, use
cmake for
that and use autotools for other tasks?
It may work but last I checked it didn't work too well: there's a
bunch of stuff that works when running from an autotools build
directory that doesn't from a cmake directory. And it doesn't
appear many people have been working on that.
Maybe that should be enumerated somewhere. I've only built (off
Windows) on Ubuntu using CMake and it worked for me. On Windows there
are a few bits left to finish off, but I think the nmake usage is coming
to an end.
It generally works it's just missing features. A bunch are documented
in README.cmake but not all. For example I think Evan found that the
test suite--at least the Lua portion--don't work in cmake builds; I
fixed that in autotools (starting with
https://code.wireshark.org/review/3348) but I don't think anyone has
touched the cmake part (I gave up even thinking about cmake a while ago).
