Description Paul Eggleton 2015-04-21 09:07:46 UTC 
recipetool has the ability to create recipes for software that uses cmake. However there isn't currently any support for extracting dependencies from CMakeLists.txt; there may be other things we can pick up as well. Someone with a better understanding of cmake needs to extend it; we may need to properly parse the files instead of the keyword searching we are doing now. KDE's cmake-dependencies.py may possibly be of interest:
http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kde-dev-scripts.git&a=tree

The implementation for this is in scripts/lib/recipetool/create_buildsys.py.

We now have a basic implementation in master:

I think we should go ahead and mark this one as fixed; any issues that aren't outright breakage can be dealt with through separate bugs.
