Charm++ parallel programming system

[Eric Bohm <ebohm AT illinois.edu>]

Conversion to CMake is a matter of discussion that hasn't quite risen to the level of a plan at this time.   Charm's build process already uses some autotools  (autoconf), but that usage is wrapped within our own (admittedly idiosyncratic) shell script wrappers.  They cope with some platform selection issues that autotools did not (and may still not) handle elegantly at the time of implementation.

If you are aware of specific conversion issues (particularly success stories) from custom process to CMake for other large cross-platform codes, we'd be happy to hear them.

Hi,

I was wondering whether there are any plans to modernize the build system of Charm++ to something a bit more standard such as CMake or autotools. The current system takes a bit to getting used to  :)
