The thing about traditional makefiles, including with all the GNU extensions, is that they are well understood by most of the people programming in the Linux world. They are well understood by the maintainers of this project, and by most of the users and contributers to the rt-tests project. Is there something you need to do, that you are being held back by because of our make system that I can help you with? Now, this is of course open source, so you're welcome to hack away at it. If you come to me with a new make system that solves some problems that we are having, then I might be persuaded, but I bet there are more useful things you could be doing with your time - including time used to hack on parts of this project. For most people, the make system works well enough. As you say, it isn't a huge project, so we're trying to avoid big hammer solutions. That being said, some folks are trying to persuade me that Autotools might be able to solve some of the problems we have. Perhaps in the future if we are trying to add a lot of odd architectures, it might be worthwhile for us to try something like Autotools - and worthwhile for me to bite the bullet and learn it well enough. So for now, no, it might be more convenient for you, if you know CMake better, but it won't be more convenient for me, and most contributers / users, so just a query out of the blue like that, of course not.
