I can't really believe I could be suggesting something like this, but anyone tried [meson](https://mesonbuild.com/) or such? I'm not totally opposed against moving away from Autotools in the unlikely event there's a decent alternative (e.g. that does everything we need from AT [1], and has actual advantages), although every time I saw a new build system claiming this it fell short in one way or the other. Just an idea, because I unfortunately doubt we can make libtool fast on Windows, and we need at least libgeany being a shared library for plugins. Or maybe things like ninja would help a little? (I doubt it, as it should still run the same commands)
[1] maybe the most common shortcomings are distribution tarballs and painless portability to exotic Unices. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread. Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/2305#issuecomment-531731536
