Would you like to provide a patch? > I would very much like to see GIMP use CMake as its build system as well, having had a very positive experience with using CMake for projects such as http://fc-solve.shlomifish.org/ , https://bitbucket.org/shlomif/website-meta-language/overview , and http://www.shlomifish.org/rwlock/ . I've written about CMake’s advantages over GNU Autotools here: http://www.shlomifish.org/open-source/anti/autohell/ In any case, I would be willing to work on porting GIMP's build system to CMake, as long as there is a general agreement from GIMP's developers that CMake will be available in addition or instead of GNU Autotools (so I won't work for naught). Note that by this, I don't mean that I support the conversion of GIMP to Qt, which was the original poster’s other suggestion.
