Did I miss or there isn't a section that covers modern build systems? I would have loved to get an intro to that.

- dgellow 7y agoSame here, I would really like to read a good write-up on this topic. I started to write blog articles on CMake a few months ago while learning to use it but never published them as they became way too huge and messy. I would be definitely interested in an equivalent of "A tour of C++" but for modern-ish build systems, by someone with better writing skills than I have :-)
- reacharavindh 7y agoI was also thinking the same thing after glancing at the table of contents. I remember working with C++ while studying at grad school with instructions by two professors who quite loved the language. Even though I enjoyed the language and its STL very much, the mess of its build system and linking to other libraries is what comes to my mind whenever I think about C++. This is exactly why I never touched it again. Cargo does a fantastic job for Rust in this regard. Rust won me over.

- chengiz 7y agoWhat does that have to do with C++?
- aktenlage 7y agoIsn't that obvious? Those who do serious C++ development typically need a good build system.
