Not an easy sell in my experience, windows people think it’s strange to install an archaic C build system as an add-on. And some people even git in cmd. It’s just not easy to get people on board with it.
- JamesSwift 6y agoWhen used as I would recommend, GNU Make is not a build system, its a task runner. Its a language agnostic gulp or npm package.json scripts runner. You can run anything you want (even powershell!) in the targets, its just a standard way to package them up together and declare task dependencies.
- pletnes 6y agoI know and support the approach, but have to keep «selling» this. Make documents itself as a C compilation system. I think it’s actually a better task runner! Python’s tox and invoke are nice, but much more noisy and language-specific.
