As I ponder moving our entire hairy system to cmake, I'm stuck with several sub-projects where I will not want to replace the existing build system. In particular we use internal builds of several FSF tools and when necessary to build one as part of building a cmake'd project we'll just want to delegate that work to the existing autotools setup to get things built and then continue in cmake.<br>
<br>I'm assuming this has been hit before by people. Are there any useful semi-standard modules for handling delegating to autotools build for some projects, passing in various options and rebuilding as required if something changes? (Eg. if something changes in a cmake'd project that requires rebuilding our tweaked gnu tool that depends on our change in some way). Any advice from those that have gone down this path before?<br>
<br>thanks<br>b.<br><br>
