@wyatt8740 @project1enigma @parzivalwolfram @jannem @dalias @unnick I probably write makefiles better than you do and this is exactly why I avoid it inflicting it on others: as a matter of basic compassion

@whitequark @wyatt8740 @project1enigma @jannem @dalias @unnick i don't mind projects with makefiles that are like 30 lines at most, where it's just a shell script but it's kept around for build systems and such. when it's a 30KB file full of high-level shell wizardry... i just have to hope i don't have to dig through it and that it just works.

You both implied the same thing and diverged around "but what about other people"

@whitequark @project1enigma @parzivalwolfram @jannem @dalias @unnick The first link is clearly not me saying "i'm a better programmer." I am saying that I appreciate the simplicity of a makefile compared to dealing with cmake

As for the second, i said that because YOU implied I was incompetent for liking bourne shells. Jerk. Blocking now.

@whitequark @wyatt8740 @project1enigma @jannem @dalias @unnick cmake is still an eighties-quality tool, it can't handle being used in buildroot 90% of the time without manual intervention and the nightlies need cmake to build cmake, so that's gonna be fun to look forward to later considering that got pkg-config (or whatever it was, i forget the name) replaced with a rewritten tool by most distros pretty fast.
