dependencies is an issue

sometimes dependencies not installed because of versions conflict. so you should select exact lib that you need.

This sounds really cool. I may give CMake a try for my next new project.

Beware of the lack of documentation though...

One inconvenient of CMAKE is that the documentation available online is very brief. If you want to do anything serious with it, I think buying the book is really necessary.

No worse than autohell

The autotools suite suffers from the same lack of clear, simple docs and examples. CMake is at least easy to pick up.

Yep, needs documentation

Seems like a very cool project. I'm trying to pick it up without the book, and I'm having a pretty hard time of it. More publicly available samples of how to do things would go a long way to helping the project reach a critical mass within the community.

You'd think they'd make it more obvious

You can get a fairly comprehensive explanation of a lot of the variables using the command "cmake --help-html > cmake.html" - the resulting file is very useful and quite verbose.

Having said that, this still leaves you badly in need of worked examples.

How about teh KDE4 sources

The KDE4 WebSVN might provide quite a few working examples.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
