Bug 134716 – baby step towards CMake on Windows

• Component: WebKit Misc.
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Alex Christensen]

I was playing with CMake on Windows and thought, "This is awesome!  We have to have this."  I have a few questions about the WebKit CMake system, including:

Is 2.5.34 really the only version of FLEX we can use?  I tried with 2.5.4, and CMakeLists.txt didn't like it.  Same with ruby versioning.
Do other CMake-based ports make WTF into a dynamic link library, or a static link library?

I expect that it would be not too much work to adapt our CMake scripts to work with both the old and new versions of the utilities, but I don't know the details.

We compile WTF as a static object, but this would be easy to make configurable. The line that controls this is 

add_library(WTF STATIC ${WTF_HEADERS} ${WTF_SOURCES})

in Source/WTF/wtf/CMakeLists.txt.
