While I don’t hold much love for autoconf and autotools as full suites to work with, count me in as someone who appreciates GNU make and simple makefiles.
I use it for lots of things, even NodeJS, and it helps me keep my builds more portable.
I’d hate to see GNU make completely abandoned.
- nrclark 6y agoGNU Make is widely used, and actively maintained. New features are added regularly. It's the build tool targeted by Kconfig (used in the Linux kernel and elsewhere), and also it's probably true to call it CMake's most common backend. So, don't worry - GNU Make isn't going anywhere, regardless of what eventually happens to Autoconf.
