Hi,
I also used cmake in other projects, and it is sometimes quite hard to debug
but otherwise works ok. I have little experience with scons, but I was quite
happy I managed to add out of source build in one hour the other day, so I have
a good feeling with scons based on that.
I am worried about spending time changing a build system that works very well,
as this is bikeshedding (https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/bikeshedding). In
that sense, it does not add real value to the project and wastes energy.
kind regards,
Stéphane
