Hi Chris,
It is definitely a good idea to use CMake instead of automake. It is up to
your choice whether you want to use CMake along with classic make or with
ninja-build.
In the end I built tdelibs with cmake because I didn't know how to do it with
make. But now I want to build tdebingings
and there are no CMake-files. So, how do I build this package then?
On top of what Slavek already mentioned, we are progressively moving all the repos to
cmake, so autotools support will
be totally removed at some points. Already many modules can only be built with cmake since
autotools support has already
been removed.
Re tdebindings, this has not yet been converted to cmake, so you need to use autotools.
You do not have to use the comprehensive build
scripts that Michele
mentioned, but you can simply use the deb packaging files that are in
tde-packaging GIT repository. Alternatively, you can download the source
deb package and build yourself.
Aren't the build scripts and the packaging files from the tde-packaging repo not the
same?
tde-packaging (debian subfolder for your case), contains all the necessary files to build
TDE modules in debian, either
using dpkg-build, pbuilder or other building chains.
My own scripts are simply a set of tools that work on top of the files from the packaging
repo.
You should definitely use the files from tde-packaging, they will make your life easier.
Whether to want to do it
yourself or you my scripts is an optional choice.
Cheers
Michele
