Hello,
I'm working on many projects, and writing makefile is really painful.
I love the BSD Makefile syntax obviously, but I also love that people
using Linux could run make to build my projects too. And using BSD
makefile syntax disallow this.
Reducing the makefile to the minimal makes them portable, but then you
canno't use loops, conditionnals, and this is getting my nerves.
What could I do to write Makefile compatible on every operating
systems ? I'm thinking about Cmake but I hate the syntax, also for
dmake...
We had this same choice at our company and ended up going wiht cmake for
everything. In the end you'll save time and get portability across all
platforms and build environments. Don't really think of cmake as a
makefile replacement, but a replacement for auto* tools and makefiles
together. (cmake generates platform native makefiles) If you do go
with cmake don't try to support older versions though. Anything 2.8.1+
is really quite solid from my experience.. /* no I don't work for
kitware */
good luck
./C
