the cmake team just announced the release of 2.4.4. seems like a good time to send some (free) kisses their way.
when we first started moving to cmake i kvetched about how much it was annoying me. since then, thanks in large part to alex and the cmake devs, it's come a long way (baby) and it's a dream to use.
faster than i ever remember autotools being. much less bloat in source packages. quite straightforward.
so ... kisses. =)

Hell yeah! :D Though I would love a sample KDE3 project with icons/po files and so on.
There are sample KDE3 cmake project in kdesdk/cmake/samples/, they work with the KDE 3.4.x versions of the programs, not the KDE 3.5 versions.
And you can have a look at Boson, they use CMake too.

Thanks for the time saving tip Alex, appreciated.
No kisses for cmake. I prefer autotools since just about every other project out there uses them. Sorry, but cmake is just yet another idiotic reinvention of all the old crappy build systems that existed BEFORE autotools (Imake anyone?). This makes no sense, since you are forcing developers to install YET ANOTHER IDIOTIC BUILD TOOL. You were right, it is a waste of fucking time. I just don't understand why you guys had to change just to accomodate windows developers? There is no reason why they couldn't have made a perl script to generate msvc build files from Makefile.am (the Subversion already does this).
Please bring back the autotool files for those of us who do not want to use cmake. Thank you.
@nick: it's actually saving me a lot of time these days. it's clearer to use, faster to execute ... now that the annoyances and bugs have been worked out it's really quite a bit better than auto*.
we moved away from cvs as well for similar reasons.
