[odb-users] Using CMake for ODB (libraries forlder structre)

[Михаил Комаров]

Hello!

In fact, I have implemented CMake build system for some of ODB libraries and would like to propose to use some of it:

https://github.com/Nemo1369/libodb-boost/tree/cmake <https://github.com/Nemo1369/libodb-boost/tree/cmake>
https://github.com/Nemo1369/libodb-sqlite/tree/cmake <https://github.com/Nemo1369/libodb-sqlite/tree/cmake>
https://github.com/Nemo1369/libodb/tree/cmake <https://github.com/Nemo1369/libodb/tree/cmake>

It is kinda outdated, but can be merged with current ODB state.

Boris, what do you think of creating a branch with CMake-based build system in every Codesynthesis ODB-related repository?

Sincerely yours,

Mikhail Komarov
