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: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=726dbda396a49de0fa710e64218457915715a5d2 http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=2c8c9fe3b4e2d3a0910d567e99f0b268a854c0fe 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.
