Doesn't cmake take care of most of this? Is there any reason not to use cmake on middle to large scale projects?
I am genuinely curious. I've only recently started looking at cmake, and it seems like they should generate portable Makefiles, or at least have an option to generate them.
- pletnes 9y agoYes, including nmake (windows-compatible).
- to3m 9y agoYes it does, and no there isn't, in that order. CMake is pretty horrid in many respects - I won't deny that - but it gets a few key things right, and it has a good-size ecosystem. That's enough to make up for its notable deficiences.
