After 15 years of autotools use, I converted all my stuff to CMake over the last two years, and I'm not looking back. I haven't talked against autotool for several years, I think (~: In the case of this application, I don't think there's a need for configuration and portability because the program is completely Linux-oriented and absolutely depends on features which only exist in the Linux kernel (/sys, /proc, inotify, signalfd). I've no idea on wether it is portable to another OS and don't care much. For what concerns portability to other libcs, I consider a must to stick to the POSIX standard and not bloat the program with switches depending on which library and which version is used. If the program relies on any non-standard feature, I consider it a bug which I'm willing to correct. There might be an issue with the location of the installed files which may depend on the distro; then, well, it's a job for the packager. Maybe it would help to have the location of the default config file set by a #define; this is something I can do.
