Feature #1887
Migrate project build system to CMake 3
100%
Description
- full support for Windows, Mac and various Unix platforms (including IDE project generation for MSVS, Xcode, etc.)
- Qt 5 integration without hacks and kludges
- robust verification of required dependencies (and configuring of optional dependencies, in case fallbacks available)
- Amethyst integration for generating docs
- native packaging: WiX, Mac app bundles, tarballs
Particularly the first bullet point is a great advantage over qmake. Also, it's worth noting that Qt itself appears to plan to leave qmake behind (with qbs being the likely successor).

This work is ongoing in the cmake-build
branch. The status is that one can build a fully functional Doomsday plus all other components (libs, plugins, tools, tests) on Windows, OS X, and Linux. The next step is using CPack to create binary and source packages for distribution.

CPack packaging is now set up. The produced packages still need fine-tuning with regard to metadata, installer UI graphics, etc.

The final hurdle before this can be merged to master is to update the autobuilder to use CMake. This means that Snowberry packaging must be done via CMake, too, although most likely just running the existing scripts for this purpose is sufficient.

Excellent. This is great, as I can actually compile, run, and debug doomsday without having an aneurism over QMake nonsense!
