Re: [technology-pmc] CMake as an exempt pre-req for Mihini

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think that we can go either way on this one.

Can we reasonably argue that only some subset of the community will actually need to build Mihini, or is this the sort of thing that everybody needs to do?

Can we reasonably argue that CMake would likely already be installed on the workstation of an adopter who would be inclined to build Mihini?

In our case, I am not sure we can consider CMake something that is "required exclusively to facilitate build and test.", in that without CMake it is not possible to build Mihini at all, out of the box. 

Maybe this is just a misinterpretation of pre-req on my end, but I would say that in the case of a framework technology (and more so an embedded technology, which adopters will likely want/need to build themselves for their specific targets), if you cannot build it on your own without such the 3rd party technology, it is probably a prerequisite.

WDYT?

Benjamin.

This sounds more like a "works with" dependency for build and test

Is this to be used as technology for building Minihi, or does Mihini have code that will link to CMake?

Dear PMC,

We would like to request your approval to declare CMake an exempt pre-req for the Mihini project.
CMake is a popular build management tool, licensed under the terms of the new BSD license, that simplifies cross-compilation and simplifies the management of several builds inside the same source tree.

Thanks in advance,
Benjamin.
