yeah, I'm one those who still think autotools is the lesser evil compared to cmake. No need to tell me how wrong I am.

is it ok to agree with you?

Just out of interest, do you have an opinion on meson/ninja compared to those two?

@ilmari No, I don't really have enough experience with any of those to have an opinion.

"lesser evil" is probably right. Is there a build system for C that is not "evil", though?

I am so glad that I am not the only one.

Would say that it depends on the configure script. The one of perl for instance, is a nightmare for cross-compilation.

I'm curious what makes CMake more evil.

in reply to Richard Levitte 2 months ago

@levitte I suppose mostly the fact that I've managed to learn to handle autotools but I still haven''t figured out cmake
