@jensgeorg ,
Why do I need to switch from Autotools? What is so bad about them?
Are you proposing CMake? Or any other Makefile-generation tool?
I know CMake is turning autotools down, but a huge number of software still uses autotools and don’t plan on switching, so why should I?
Any OS tools is using autotools. I believe FF/Chrome are using it.
A lot of useful Linux utilities are using autotools.
Can you point me to any popular software that doesn’t?
Thank you.
