/* sorry for spelling mistake autogen.sh */ Gnome = jhbuild
KDE = scons Gnu Project = full-blown auto-foo git = make Me = dpkg-buildpackage (beat that ;-) ) Now lets turn over to Google Trends [1]: I think that complele GNU Autotools toolchain is on the decline and people are seeking less complexity, more profiliation or higher level obstraction. You would not believe how many thinks are using just low level makefiles (prime example git). Now lets look at google codesearch: File:autogen scores - 28,300 File:setup.py scores - 33,200 File:configure scores - 414,000 File:Makefile scores - 2,980,000 I don't believe that 1 autogen is proportional to 14.6 configures and 105 makefiles. From this codesearch trend I can only suggest to drop UI. That is from autogen.sh to go down to configure, if you can.... For example by default you just run "make" to build git. [4] They are using make to generate configure LOL =DDDDD I guess this is a challenge for Jonathan (for such a long thread) can you "make" sword without any fancy "autogen" (you dismissed it) and without "autoreconf" cause none of us heard of it before =DDDD You know "make it". You are allowed an autoconf generated /.configure as in git example. Additional constrains: Zero functionality loss and improved build time please =D.
