[Python-ideas] Cmake as build system

[André Freitas]

Hi,
Thanks for sharing Ryan Gonzalez :)

It just could be another alternative and not a replacement of autotools.
Not only about the cross-platform feature of Cmake but the integration with
modern IDEs. I really see an improvement in productivity using the IDE
debugger (e.g Clion) instead of using prints everywhere (
http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/78152/real-programmers-use-debuggers
).
