Hi All,<br>
<br>
I fear starting another centi-thread on this but I'll give it a shot.<br>
<br>
We're currently supporting two build systems which is definitely one<br>
more than we (or I) want to support.<br>
<br>
I don't know of any support in autoconf past the<br>
--host/--build/--target case that's not supported in cmake. I'll send<br>
out an assertion here that this support isn't necessary and any system<br>
that needs it can instead move to:<br>
<br>
build native clang<br>
build next clang with some target that supplies a sysroot and a<br>
-target option to the native clang<br>
<br>
Can anyone see good a reason not to move to cmake as our only build<br>
configuration system and drop future support for autoconf + makefiles<br>
now that 3.3 has branched?</blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>I definitely think this is a good idea, and a very timely suggestion. Once we have collected a list of remaining problems, we should have plenty of time to address them all such that we can remove the autoconf build system for 3.4.</div>
