If you come from a unix background the Meson/Ninja combination (more or less autotools without legacy crud) is probably more approachable than CMake with all of its implicit magic.
- ho_schi 3y agoCame here to post the same. The answer for How to build software? is Meson[1] for C and C++ and also other languages. Works well on Windows and Mac, too. I’ve written a small Makefile to learn the basic and backgrounds. Make itself is fine. But the next higher level would have been Autotools. Which is an intimidating and weird set of tools. Most new stuff written in C/C++ use now Meson and it feels sane. [1] https://mesonbuild.com https://mesonbuild.com
