CMake or Waf for D project

Question

We are looking for adequate build tool for a desktop GUI application to be written in D (using Qt toolkit), consisting of several native libraries, using 3rd party C-lib(s). It has to build on Linux (native development) and Mac as well on Windows. We might adopt Code::Blocks as IDE.

Waf already has support for D language, while CMake is just receiving it cmaked2.

CMake uses special language, while Waf is pure Python...Otoh, CMake, via CPack, can produce packages in several formats as well as GUI installer for e.g. Windoze.

Any pro/cons and what would you use?

We excluded Scons for speed reasons and autoconf, so, please, advice against CMake/waf only.

Update: Although not received any reply here, we were researching in other places, did some reading & testing and decided to use Waf (1.6. release is just around the corner).

Answer 1

Waf is very fast and has been chosen as the build system for Samba (http://samba.org/). It is also used by many proprietary projects because it lets you do crazy things that are impossible in Make/CMake.
