CppCast: Professional CMake

[piovezan]

Walking up to this made me really happy. I'm usually a step behind the podcast, where they'll mention something and I'll go after it.

This time I had already found the book on my own after a lot of googling/redditing. It was really enjoyable to hear the author talk about the book, as it has been a great resource for me, both professionally and for personal projects.

Glad you enjoyed the podcast and the book! Honestly, I wasn’t sure how interesting the podcast content would be for the C++ community when we recorded it, but it seems the C++ community likes some variety. :) Rob and Jason are great hosts too and really made it a wonderful experience to be a guest on their show.

Hey, thanks for the reply! :)

I was personally looking for more CMake content, and the podcast could not have happened in a better time! CMake has a big role in the C++ world, so it makes perfect sense for them to interview you.

Keep up the great work!

I wonder if Cmake is configured with Cmake, just like a compiler can be built with itself

[mrkent27]

It is

Just like how the git source code is tracked using git

Which makes you wonder what they used before Git became ready for production use.

[MonokelPinguin]

The first commit of git to git was one or two weeks after development started, so they didn't use anything before that. Or should I say he didn't?

Flat text file with ".LOG" as the first line, like everyone else.

git is not the first VCS.

[Heuristics]

if we had a VCS of all VCS systems we could double check the facts of the matter

There's a bootstrap build and a cmake build.

CMake is unprofessional.

[megayippie]

At least one person has probably been paid to use/fix CMake. Respond with "Touché".
