Writing Makefiles by hand is great for small projects. But make becomes unmanageable for large projects, and is bad at dealing with system and compiler differences.
- einpoklum 7y agoIt is not "great" for small projects, because: 1. Small projects also have dependencies 2. Small projects need to be build on multiple platforms too 3. It is more verbose, and at the same time more obscure, than writing a CMakeLists.txt (typically).
