Should CMake be used as a build system?

[KOLANICH]

The main advantage of CMake is its rich standard library, including modules for discovery of system-installed libraries, using which instead of own-shipped ones is highly desireable, and the mechanism for packaging for varios package managers called CPack.

The short answer is, yeah probably.

When I started the project several years ago qmake was the build system of choice for Qt application. Now cmake seems to be preferable.

I have barely used cmake at all so not probably something I would be adding myself soon.

There was work being done in #100 to add cmake support. If cmake can replace everything qmake does without adding a ton of extra setup to build the application then I'd be happy to switch to cmake.

Thanks for the info.
