Yes, perhaps it is true, and it is obvious to build experts, but as a novice in this area (build systems), I would love for some more exposition.

- flohofwoe 5y agoOne typical problem for C/C++ build systems is lack of proper Windows and MSVC toolchain support. Most C/C++ build systems originated in the UNIX world, and either only support GCC-compatible toolchains or if they support MSVC then only as an afterthought. Trying to get this stuff running in a Windows environment is often a mix of frustation and plain hilarity. CMake is one of the few build tools that gets Windows and MSVC support right.
