<div dir="auto"><div>Dear Dick,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I didn't actually try it out (I can), but I would imagine that simply downloading CMake.app in the current build directory and running ./CMake.app/Contents/bin/cmake should do the job without the need to install anything. Microsoft Visual Studio ships with CMake integrated into the tool, while Apple would probably refuse this idea.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">If writing build recipes was easier, I would in fact much prefer to have the whole TL build in CMake. At the moment Windows builds require a lot of extra work and maintenance and I'm not sure how many people beyond Akira know how to handle that at all.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">It shouldn't be a problem to write autofoo magic for luametatex in principle, it's just extra work that probably nobody really enjoys doing.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Both autofoo and CMake are a pain, but CMake is at least Windows friendly.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Mojca</div><div dir="auto"><br><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">V ned., 18. sep. 2022 14:59 je oseba Richard Koch <<a href="mailto:koch@uoregon.edu">koch@uoregon.edu</a>> napisala:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Mojca,<br>

A minor comment that shouldn't play a big role in your plans.<br>
<br>
For the Macintosh, it would be best to eliminate cmake and add the program to the regular build system. Since I create TeXShop, I have a rule that my Mac must always be in a plain vanilla state, with no system altering installations and no additions to the compile tools. I am able to compile asy and stick with these rules, but Cmake would be a step too far.<br>
