I am aware of scons and cmake, but how do I distribute the code? Every single piece of Linux software I ever compiled has always been configure/make/make install.
I don't mind replacing autotools, but make seems to continue being a standard way of installing from source.
Am I wrong? Thank you.
- st3fan 19y agoWell you did not mention that you had to distribute it outside of your own organization. In that case it might make sense to invest in the dreadful autoconf/automake tools.
- jey 19y agoI would say you should just buck the autocrap trend and require SCons. Alternatively, you can check out "waf" which is very similar to SCons in its philosophy, but the entire application is just one python file that you can distribute with your code. I haven't tried waf yet, but I'm planning on eventually switching one of my projects to use it. http://code.google.com/p/waf/ http://code.google.com/p/waf/
