![]() this is why a lot of my projects use their own custom autotools-like build system alongside meson, so that way i can accomplish cross-platform compilation while also supporting old unix systems via the posix shell scripts ![]() and with how many gnu extensions they already do with their software to the point where there's software that depends on gcc to compile at all, you would assume that they would get rid of all of the legacy cruft that nobody really uses anymore (unless you're runinng it on aix, in which case, you'd go with an older version anyway). i guess it works nicely for compiling software on legacy unix systems, but gnu is not really legacy, as it keeps getting updated. it generates so much stuff that goes unused due to it being legacy cruft from other proprietary unix clones, and it's a biggger pain in the rear than cmake to set up a project with it and actually make it compile something. i'm not gonna sugarcoat it, autotools is garbage. ![]() ![]() One of the bigger gripes i have with the gnu project is autotools. ![]()
