Wonder if this can/will replace CMake for cross platform builds.
- izacus 10y agoAs a C/C++ build system it's severely lacking in features. CMake is orders of magnitude more useful.
- dyu- 10y agoDoesn't support windows. You're better off with bazel or GN.
- revelation 10y agoHow do you in 2017 come up with a build system that doesn't even run on Windows.
- dyu- 10y agoThey made buck for themselves where their infrastructure runs on (*nix). Google's internal build tool (before bazel) was the same. Now chromium's GN build tool was made for their product that was targetted to run everywhere, which is why windows support is good.
- hnbroseph 10y agohow is current_year different than last_year?
- nickspacek 10y agoWhat about it doesn't support Windows? Not disagreeing since I haven't used it much and I'm on Linux, but they have "Quick Start" instructions for Windows. https://buckbuild.com/setup/getting_started.html https://buckbuild.com/setup/getting_started.html
- sdwilsh 10y agoI don't believe c++ support exists yet for Windows (although it works if you are targeting Android).
