Hello,
thanks for spending time in this direction! Makefiles were for long supposed to get a review.
I am not familiar for CMake, but if it is considered a good option, I am fine with it. For now, a few questions:
- is it already building the modules as well, or only the core for now?
- can it be used also for building the docs (e.g., README files for modules)?
- any of the old Makefiles need to be kept, or all of them will be replaced?
Cheers, Daniel

Hello all,
I've started working on integrating CMake as a build system for the Kamailio. This is an initial step towards potentially offering CMake as an alternative to the current build system across the entire Kamailio project. Right now, the CMake configuration is quite basic and covers only the core module. It offers limited options described in Makefile.defs that are required to build the core module. Some notes regarding the definitions can be found also in the CMakelists.notes https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/compare/master...cmake#diff-4e8ba0f2d53c1a8b57e416e35f56d4f66bbc82d8b8d9317e2a72f1dd395b9d03 that made the build failed and maybe it's good to remove from current Makefiles as well, if i am not wrong. Before we consider extending it to other modules and components, i would like some feedback whether you find it useful at all. You can find the initial CMake files in the |cmake| branch. Please take a look and feel free to share any feedback or suggestions. Your input will be much appreciated and nessecary if we want CMake as a build system.
For anyone wanting to try and compile using cmake, here are some basic instructions on how to get you started. Checkout the |cmake| branch of kamailio repo. Create a new folder, let's call it build. |mkdir build && cd build| Then run CMake for the configuration |cmake ..| (you can also then use |ccmake .| for a visual of the offered options) Build and install using make | make -j4| | make install| OR Build and install using cmake cmake --build . cmake --install .
You can of course use the CMake variable |CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX| to change the installation paths as follows and of course other preprocessor defintions: |cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=./kamailio-cmake -DUSE_TCP=0 ..| This will install it in the |build/kamailio-cmake| folder but fails to build because USE_TCP is required for kamailio to build (Check CMakelists.notes).
Thank you all for your continuous contributions and support. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and insights. Best regards, Xenofon https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/tree/cmake https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/tree/cmake https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/tree/cmake
