CMake Build Script

[winder]

To make the project more portable something like CMake would help a lot. Basically CMake is a project generator, on my mac it has the following targets, on windows it would have several visual studio projects as well:

The following generators are available on this platform:
Unix Makefiles = Generates standard UNIX makefiles.
Ninja = Generates build.ninja files.
Xcode = Generate Xcode project files.
CodeBlocks - Ninja = Generates CodeBlocks project files.
CodeBlocks - Unix Makefiles = Generates CodeBlocks project files.
CodeLite - Ninja = Generates CodeLite project files.
CodeLite - Unix Makefiles = Generates CodeLite project files.
Eclipse CDT4 - Ninja = Generates Eclipse CDT 4.0 project files.
Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles= Generates Eclipse CDT 4.0 project files.
KDevelop3 = Generates KDevelop 3 project files.
KDevelop3 - Unix Makefiles = Generates KDevelop 3 project files.
Kate - Ninja = Generates Kate project files.
Kate - Unix Makefiles = Generates Kate project files.
Sublime Text 2 - Ninja = Generates Sublime Text 2 project files.
Sublime Text 2 - Unix Makefiles
= Generates Sublime Text 2 project files.

I spent a little time this morning trying to remember how to use it and got far enough that it generates a project (but doesn't compile all the way).

To generate a Makefile and build:

cd ~/GSharp
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Great, thanks for getting into it! I'll give it a go and will commit when I feel that I understand everything.
