<br>
The main reason I was interested way back in CMake was because of the window 64-bit issues I was having and the possibility we might need to use VC++.<br>
<br>
I don't see anyone jumping around lately screaming for a VS build environment for PostGIS and if they are they should be putting in the work for it and be willing to maintain it.<br>
<br>
I'm pretty happy with Mingw64 / autotools chain building.<br>
<br>
I don’t' see what benefit CMake buys me as far as PostGIS. Geos ironically I use the CMake (still using mingw64 for the building) instead of the autotools cause it seems to work faster and all the tests pass.<br>

<br>
The main reason was that PostgreSQL (and its associated build system) support many more platforms than CMake when I last looked at it, so you'd either end up having to support more than one build system or lose PostGIS support from some architectures/platforms.<br>
<br>
Having said that following the recent discussion on pgsql-hackers I think several platforms got culled as part of the recent atomics rework (and perhaps CMake have also improved their platform support in the<br>
meantime) so it could be worth someone taking another look.<br>
