I am with Andre here: Having something now is better than maybe getting
something later. I am not doubting anybody commitment, it is just nice to
have something to test things with.

Yep, right. But till we have that we can still serve one user:-)

I beg to differ: We support a range of different options for qmake and do
not see why that should not work for cmake.

My impression was that we will go with the current patch for now and see
how things develop from there:-)

Quite frankly I hope there is a solution that does not involve creeping and
parsing cmake output. Parsing is always fragile. Having cmake generate
something is most likely more stable.

Best Regards ,

PS: While talking about parsing: Qbs does produce great output for parsing
the build output. Basically you get the file being worked on, the full
command run and the output to stderr and stdout. That makes figuring out
what any warning is about really easy. Can we get similar information from
cmake?
