I wonder if one of these coding assistant things could be trained to port autotools to cmake [1]? That is, finally transition away from it.... autotools is cryptic and slow and this cacher is 20 years old and hasn't caught on.
Or alternatively, could the coding assistant be trained to /simplify/ the autotools config to remove all the obsolete tests and make it fast and short?
[1 or meson or whatever the leading alternative is.
- sigotirandolas 3y agoMy experience with autotools projects is that more often than not it ends up being a collection of arcane commands and painstaking minutiae that probably nobody fully understands but somehow ends up calling the right commands to compile the program. So, you're going to need ASI to work with that.
