2018-09-21 Thread David Cousens
Hi I made so comments in the Talk page on Build Tools repeated here for perhaps broader comment: I dont think the description here really represents the situation. Both Autotools and Cmake are build configuration utilities not tool chains as such. Would it not be better to describe the
