Is there a better alternative to CMake? I find its syntax painful and inconsistent, but once a project is configured, it works reasonably well for producing cross-platform builds.
- PeCaN 9y agoOstensibly there are dozens, since it feels like everyone makes their own…. Honestly most of the time I use autotools. I hate autotools, but it breaks less often and is usually easier to fix when it does. CMake will occasionally just refuse to find dependencies or will generate bad makefiles for me on less-common OSes like QNX and even on the BSDs. I did use Premake for a time which is basically like CMake with less awful syntax and doesn't pollute all your subdirectories with files. Don't expect it to work on OSes other than Windows/Mac/common Linuxes though.
