CMake or not? #922

Closed Kezii closed 5 years ago

Kezii commented 5 years ago

I see that there are two ways for building qucs, why is this? The latest discussion I was able to find on this matter took place more than a year ago, and today I managed to build qucs without issues with cmake, so what is missing? When the autotools thing will be ditched?

why is this?

Historical reasons. Qucs initially used the autotools and cmake support was added later.

yes, we try to keep both the cmake and autotools build systems working

When the autotools thing will be ditched?

not sure, likely when there will be a significant immediate advantage in doing so. For the moment we rely on the autotools for building and testing.
