Objective C? Yacc? Cygwin? Custom compiler flags to disable C++ exception handling, build some files with optimizations disabled?
Our build systems are not our biggest problem. Meson, or SCons, or others, could be good if we were starting a new project. We aren't. We are maintaining one we poorly understand. Porting to Meson will not be any easier than porting to gbuild. Writing gbuild code becomes easy with practice. *Understanding* dmake / build.lst / d.lst is hard... I've spend the last day trying to port several more modules to gbuild. I've succeeded with main/fileaccess, main/io and main/package, but ran into walls with main/rdbmaker and main/store. Dmake apparently has ways to name libraries that gbuild can neither produce nor find (eg. libstore.so.3, libreg.so.3). These culprits use the evil UNIXVERSIONNAMES setting which generates such names: cppu cppuhelper jvmaccess jvmfwk registry salhelper sal store Damjan On Tue, Nov 29, 2016 at 8:52 PM, Pedro Giffuni <p...@apache.org> wrote: > http://mesonbuild.com/ > > > Features > > * multiplatform support for Linux, OSX, Windows, Gcc, Clang, Visual > Studio and others > * supported languages include C, C++, Fortran, Java, Rust > * build definitions in a very readable and user friendly non-turing > complete DSL > * cross compilation for many operating systems as well as bare metal > * optimized for extremely fast full and incremental builds without > sacrificing correctness > * built-in multiplatform dependency provider that works together with > distro packages > * fun! > >
