This is just a theoretical question, but what would be everybody's option on using cmake instead of just make files for the main espruino project.

I asked partly ask this because i would love to see Zephyr support on this project and Zephyr uses CMAKE in its builds. So having a a build system use cmake would make that easier to integrate.

I'm not a fan I'm afraid.

It feels like CMake is just another dependency and thing you have to install to get the build going? And surely you can still use Makefile projects within CMake?

There's also a lot more work involved in running Espruino under Zephyr than changing the Make system :)

That's fair. Getting it to build Zephyr is probably the easiest part. Hahahaha
