Only developers and power users experienced in compiling software will have any use for Cmake's build system.

So an inexperienced user cannot compile a Cmake program? That doesn't sound very good to me.

It's not a matter of ``cannot'', it's more like ```will not''. Inexperienced user do not compile software on their own initiative. It would be fine you can find an inexperienced user to compile a program that uses CMake build system.

How else can they use it? It is not like there is some magic method of installing software.

Stop complaining about our ``proper quotes'' and leave /prog/, now.

Your source builds using something that isn't GNU Make
So KDE "could be better"? While GNU make is ubiquitous, it's archaic and shit. The sooner lusers stop being ancient fags of this shit, the sooner the open source world will be a little nicer.
Your project does not have a mailing list
Mailing lists (or failing lists if you will) are likewise old and shit methods to communicate. This guy thinks you can only be successful if you use open shit methods.
Your releases are only in .zip format
Why prefer the most ubiquitous compression format when you can use something else? Because you're a fucking idiot.
Yeah, this guy is a retard.

They're not proper. They will never be proper. ` will never have any valid use in English writing. It never has. I will not leave /prog/ until the day there are no faggot quotes left on the Internet.

They are used in ``\latex'' source files. If you had any legitimate business on /prog/, or, indeed, the ``Internet'', you would know this. `` ` '' is an ascii character. It encloses shell commands. That's more of a valid use than your ever going to have.

You have inspiried me to change my keyboard layout to include “Unicode quotes”
Summary: Please do not use the ASCII grave accent (0x60) as a left quotation mark together with the ASCII apostrophe (0x27) as the corresponding right quotation mark (as in `quote'). Your text will otherwise appear rather strange with most modern fonts (e.g., on Windows and Mac systems). Only old X Window System fonts and some old video terminals show ASCII 0x60/0x27 as left and right quotation marks, while most modern systems follow the ISO and Unicode standards instead. If you can use only ASCII’s typewriter characters, then use the apostrophe character (0x27) as both the left and right quotation mark (as in 'quote'). If you can use Unicode characters, nice directional quotation marks are available in the form of characters U+2018, U+2019, U+201C, and U+201D (as in ‘quote’ or “quote”).

I think I love you, I love your post. I read it countless times, please keep posting.

It doesn't matter where they're used, if they're used incorrectly (as in the cases you point out), they're still wrong. ` is only meant to be combined with letters in languages such as French and Spanish. à, for example. It is never, ever a punctuation mark of its own, no matter what uses it.
That's like saying if Obama uses some word he made up, it's a valid word. Talk about unscientific and ultimately destructive.

Why are you dudes complaining about ``proper quotes?'' It's not like you actually see the raw ` character, now is it... wait... are you guys browsing the Internet without a LaTeX filter??????????
Why prefer the most ubiquitous compression format when you can use something else?
ZIP sucks. Everyone who uses any kind of programming anything uses better formats. .tar.gz is a standard for sources.
Even 7z would be better as default compression. While GNU make is ubiquitous, it's archaic and shit.
Hypocritical much?
GNU make may be archaic, but it's not as outdated as ZIP.
Every system capable of compiling code has GNU make capabilities. Not every system capable of compiling code has ZIP support installed.
IHBT, this troll is too obvious with his hypocrisy not to be a troll.
>>28
Not trolling.
GNU make is older than Zip, but alternatives to Zip have more advantage over it than (*)make has to GNU make.
You can't say that cmake, imake or qmake is objectively and in every aspect better than GNU make.
You can however say it about 7zip compared to Zip.
>>27
Machine capable of being programmed on is also capable of compressing/decompressing formats better than Zip.

CMake is a cross platform make system. It will generate makefiles for the various build systems such as UNIX and GNU make files, and MS Visual Studio make files.

Why would you need a "cross-platform" make system? GNU Make is already cross-platform, and probably runs on more platforms than some toy software.

7zip is slow. In fact, it is so slow. It's reallyreally slow. It might as well be written in ruby
>>32
It's only rubyesque during the compression.
During the decompression it's actually really fast.

CMake is a cross platform makefile generator system. You can use CMake to generate GNU Make compliant makefiles.
First, you write your project's build configuration using CMake's special language. Next, you use the CMake program to generate makefiles from your CMake build config. Finally, you use your native build system to actually build the software.
You use CMake's system to generate makefiles because IMO, it's far easier to write powerful build configurations using CMake's system as compared to writing your build configurations in their native language. The fact that CMake supports multiple make systems also makes it convenient to write a single build configuration that will work on the supported make systems.

Compare the compression ratios for 7-zip's format with other compression formats. You'll find 7-zip's ratios will match the best of them.

I don't know about Frenchmen, but I can assure you the opening faggot quote `[code] has no legal use in Spanish. Spanish only uses [code]´ (as in áéíóú) and if you push it really hard ~ (just for ñ).

The LZMA SDK is in the public domain. It's hard to get freer than that. The 7z archive handling code is LGPL. Most people would consider that free enough. You can remove the RAR handling if you want to.
