That's neither CMake's nor Automake's fault. Hi Kevin, Sure, I appreciate the point about poor use of the tools. But getting back to the meatier issues -- can someone please point me towards: + directions (and examples!) for using CMake for multi-language compiles and cross-langage linking (esp. C/C++ and Fortran) + creating shared libs for the above + manuals (and, if possible, "shining" examples) that describe best practices for non-trivial projects Ed -- Edward H.
