FYI: new TCS subproject

[Jon]

Some of you may have noticed that I've cloned mruby into the TheCodeShop garage.

https://github.com/thecodeshop/mruby/tree/cmake

While I originally planned to update the Makefile-based build system to use the much more maintainable and cross-platform friendly CMake build system, I've paused to see how the following discussion unfolds.

https://github.com/mruby/mruby/issues/81

Anyone else interested in (first) making mruby easier to build on multiple platforms? Any real-world feedback on either waf or CMake?

Jon

Scratch that, branch deleted...seems beoran is already well out of the starting gate and ready for pull requests ;)

Hmm, mruby, seems interesting what will show up as "socket" library,
specially considering it should work cross-platform.

There is already some libuv work too:

Sorry, couldn't resist :-)

mruby CMake build prototype started using beoran's branch as a base.

It'll be mix-n-match refinement across the namespaced branches for awhile until *nix/OSX/Windows builds work reliably and then cleanup and submit a pull request to upstream.

Know anyone using OSX who's got some spare time to hack CMakeLists.txt files? ;)

And then someone who uses VC++ IDE and project solution files rather than Windows SDK nmake?

Cool. If so, let's hope something like that shows up...something that's cleanly abstracted for cross-platform right from the beginning ;)

Hmm, probably, it depends what you call "spare time" -- that is very
subjective ;-)

As long there is no override of write/open/select and such I will be happy ;-)

Will take a look to the CMakeList later today.

multi-platform CMake-based build goodness for mruby now ready for interested testers...
