Buck and Bazel are definitely far better designed than these scary piles of macros like CMake and Autotools, but far from being ready for the same use cases. These new tools are designed for Google and Facebook's specific use cases: building binaries to run on their own servers, or mobile apps, from sources in monorepos (with dependencies copied to repo![1]). I think even building packages for Linux distros is hard with these systems and cross compilation is barely documented too (however seems that it is supported, even for Windows). There are no discovery of libraries installed in system and features of system (killer feature of autotools). [1] https://buckbuild.com/command/fetch.html https://buckbuild.com/command/fetch.html
