Hi, I'd be in favour of Mesonbuild.
- It's main developer is very responsive and already provided modules for qt and gnome, which both require certain facilities we do need too (e.g. resource compilers). - It uses a DSL that makes it *very* straight forward to use. - It has a concept called "wrapping". It allows embedding so-called "subprojects", which can be synonymous with dependencies (https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/wiki/Wrap%20dependency%20system%20manual) and be handy on non-package-centric OSes. Furthermore do they provide a wrap-db (https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/wiki/Using%20the%20WrapDB) so developers could simply reference the respective wrap (i.e. efl) as a dependency. - Generates Clang completion database There's a guide for porting from Autotools (https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/wiki/Porting-from-autotools). Just my 2 cents, cheers, Leif 2017-01-16 4:18 GMT+01:00 Vincent Torri <vincent.to...@gmail.com>: > Hey > > On Mon, Jan 16, 2017 at 3:30 AM, Carsten Haitzler <ras...@rasterman.com> > wrote: >> >> So given that.. what do we do?
