Is it not? [st] requires exactly that. And it works for distros, from what I can tell - debian/ubuntu, arch, almost everybody seem to ship it just fine.

- CJefferson 2y agoOK, maybe "not work well for distributions"? Looking at Debian, they are distributing a series of patches to the Makefile. Getting away from autotools by having every distro patch your makefile might still be better than autotools, but I'd hope we might be able to do even better?
- francescovv 2y ago> Debian (...) are distributing a series of patches to the Makefile. Where do you see that, sorry? I'm looking at the "Download Source Package" section here: https://packages.debian.org/sid/stterm https://packages.debian.org/sid/stterm ...and the only patch on there is debian/patches/0001-fix-buffer-overflow-when-handling-long-composed-inpu.patch, which doesn't touch Makefie.
- CJefferson 2y agoI wasn’t sure what the package was called, so I searched for ‘suckless’, and found this, with two Makefile patches. https://sources.debian.org/patches/suckless-tools/46-1/ https://sources.debian.org/patches/suckless-tools/46-1/
