I am a professional C developer and, in my spare time, I have developed a C++ Qt application for timing running races. The application is open-source (GPL 3) and uses CMake for compilation and to build the installer.
The project’s CMakeLists.txt files do the job, but I wrote them as a novice and I’m not satisfied with them. I’d like to tidy them up and am willing to pay for help from someone who knows what they’re doing.
As this is a project from which I derive no financial gain, Kitware’s official training or consultancy services are out of the question. As for the training, I’m not interested in acquiring advanced skills in using CMake. I’m rather interested only in finding someone to help me fix and tweak some files which, although they work, are objectively rather poorly written. The help I’m looking for is a one-off. Otherwise, I have no use for advanced knowledge of CMake, not even in my official profession.
Kitware’s option of “10 hours of technical support”, objectively speaking, would be exactly what I’m looking for. But…, for the reasons I’ve outlined above, I don’t feel comfortable investing a significant portion of a whole month’s salary on an application that yields me nothing.
That said, is there anyone out there who has a good knowledge of CMake and would be willing to contribute to an open-source project in their spare time, perhaps in exchange for a donation of a few hundred euros?
