Re: [libmicrohttpd] Draft of CMake build script

[Štefan Bellus]

Hi

I tune configuration and add test, examples target. I have following test results. 

The following tests FAILED:

         39 - tls_options (Failed)

         43 - https_get_select (Failed)

         44 - https_session_info (Failed)

Also I have trouble when I start src/examples/demo_https (it is build with autotools). The server reports "Error: received handshake message out of context" and chrome reports ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE.

Is it OK or I should investigate more?

Ok i will try to find time to finish configuration part of CMakeLists.txt and add other target as well.

Typed with thumbs.

Try to check "spam".

I suggest you to put your result to some public repo. May be others will
find your CMake setup useful.

As I said, you can try to maintain your CMake configuration. If there
will be mass demand for CMake, we could come back to this question.
